By Bill Connell, Somerset.
I have been a member of the Open Space Advisory Committee for the better part of a decade. As part of our charge we review the data on deer and help modify hunting policy recommendations to the Township Council as needed. Some of those changes have made headlines, in fact, the changes have been minor. They are more tweaks then overhauls.
I am not a hunter. It does nothing for me. I had an incident with my lawn mower and wildlife and I cried. I am pragmatic though. I have sat though 10’s of hours of information sessions on the dangers and damage of deer. I am only one person on the Open Space Committee, I am only one opinion but I have grown inpatient. We have different ideas but we don’t act on them. This ramble is not to debate hunting, it is to discuss a couple fresh ideas to an unavoidable and growing problem.
