The purpose of this chapter is to provide comprehensive regulations for the hunting of deer within the corporate limits of the Municipality in order to reduce the number of deer within the Municipality to deal with problems caused by an over population of deer within the Municipality. It has been found that the overly large population of deer within the Municipality has caused vehicular safety issues on public rights-of-way, damage to private and public properties with respect to damage to landscaping, trees and other vegetation, and public health concerns with respect to disease transmitted through the deer population to humans.
