Deer Cull On In Radnor

The Radnor Board of Commissioners on Monday unanimously passed a resolution to permit the culling of deer in the township, reports Main Line Media News.

According to the newspaper article, the resolution calls for a three-pronged approach to controlling the deer:

• The township will enter into a contract with the US Department of Agriculture to hire sharpshooters for 10 nights of deer-culling at a cost not to exceed $50,000.
• Allow legal and permitted hunting on private lands during hunting season in Pennsylvania.
• Educate landowners on minimizing human conflict with deer.
