County, DNREC Team Up To Hold Deer Hunt

New Castle County and DNREC are teaming up this week to reduce northern New Castle County's deer population.

County Communications Director Jim Grant tells WDEL News there'll be a deer hunt Wednesday and Thursday in the Middle Run Valley Natural Park Area between Newark and Pike Creek, but don't go there with your gun--the park will be closed both days, and the hunt is NOT open to the public.

At what cost to the taxpayers? Extending the season in certain areas would accomplish the same goals at zero cost.

extending the season would have little benefit to a deer herd that is confined i a large park with no hunting. a lottery of resopnsible and experienced gun hunters or a public bow season is the only option, above hired guns.
