Game Commission Posts Deer Plan On Website
|
|
The Game Commission has finalized its plan for managing the state's whitetail population for the next 10 years. Want to see what's coming and where we're going? Then check out the plan.
The agency's deer management goals are to: manage deer for a healthy and sustainable deer herd; manage deer-human conflicts at levels considered safe and acceptable to Pennsylvania citizens; manage deer impacts for healthy and sustainable forest habitat; manage deer to provide recreational opportunities; and to improve the public's knowledge and understanding of deer and the deer management program. Game Commission staff uses these guidelines when making deer management recommendations to the Board of Game Commissioners.
The agency's deer management goals were identified by public stakeholders and supported by citizens who attended public open houses.
In addition, more than 200 public comments were received during the draft deer management plan's comment period earlier this year.
For more information, check out the other features of the Game Commission's White-Tailed Deer webpage including the biologist-written "Deer Chronicle," top-notch references that cover agency research, solutions to deer-human conflicts, hunting tips and general information, deer photos and even an "Ask The Deer Biologist" section.
