Hunter
05/08/24
The Iowa City City Council has extended the urban deer hunting program.
KCRG TV reports the council voted Tuesday to extend the plan another five years. They also once again approved the hiring of a nonprofit group to come in and shoot deer for one season.
City leaders say here have been over two dozen vehicle accidents involving deer that have caused over $100,000 in damage.
Hunting is mostly done on private property, providing the properties are separated from hiking trails and buildings.
More details will be made available once the plan is approved by the Iowa Natural Resource Commission.
