Chester County's deer population is very large. And many residents are concerned about the number of deer ruining private property and vegetation around the county, along with the health and safety issues associated with this problem, including Lyme Disease and car accidents.

I have been in contact with a number of deer management experts in Pennsylvania and in other states and I am intrigued by the deer management options presented to me. For a look at what Maryland discussed with me, click here. Additional information on the specific option of deer contraception and where it is used in other states can be found here.

It is my goal as your state representative to provide information from all groups involved in the management of deer in suburban settings, and I hope this information is useful.
