DEC Releases Draft Statewide Deer Management Plan

New York's Deer Management Program

Deer often cause problems for farmers, homeowners, and foresters and can cause road hazards. If not properly managed, deer numbers can increase dramatically.

Easy peasy, just use your central planning and manage the deer like it is NYC, just like people. A law for everything and everything under the law.

"Plan Would Help Guide Current and Future State Deer Management Using Science and Public Input"

From the draft plan...

"Strategy 2.1.5:Encourage use of non-lead ammunition by New York deer hunters."


This part looks not-so-good. The anti's have been pushing lead ammunition bans in an effort to make ammunition less accessible and more expensive across the country, using health concerns as their excuse.

“As noted, the draft plan contains a proposed regulation change to extend the late bow and muzzleloader season in the Southern Zone to include the period from December 26 to January 1.”

Of all the ideas I've heard over the years this is the best change.
