Deer Management Program

The City of Pittsburgh has entered into an agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to cooperatively manage the wildlife damage from white-tailed deer.

Looks like you can now take deer in city parks with a bow. Anyone have experience with this type of program? Looks like 142 deer taken this last season and 10,000 meals provided (first deer has to be donated).

What do y'all think?

Sorry, I'm new here, I don't wear glasses. I decided to sign up because a lot of google results ended up here. I'm not sure what's sus. I thought I'd bring up a topic about city programs for hunting in parks since I found one where I live and am interested in applying and wanted to hear other people's experiences.

I know a couple of people involved with this program. The general public has no clue when/where the archers are. Good way to provide those meals.

Thanks. I’m pretty interested in the program but not sure how the volunteers are doing now that they’d got paid USDA sharpshooters.

Don’t sweat it, there has been a rash of spammers and bots on the site lately, they usually come in and first post is a very weird ethical question, or something about the evolution of hunting. Now anybody new that shows up gets razzed. I think we’re supposed to ask you if a hot dog is a sandwich? Unfortunately I know nothing about hunting deer in the city of Pittsburgh. Probably won’t find a lot of info about it here as this crowd, myself included, tends to be more western hunting focused. Good luck and I hope you do get involved in that program as it sounds like a fun opportunity.

If you live there, you have nothing to lose by trying it out.
