Pennsylvania Deer Management Program

The Pennsylvania Deer Management Program is an initiative designed to maintain healthy deer populations while protecting ecosystems, agriculture, and public safety. It involves monitoring deer numbers, supporting regulated hunting, and implementing strategies to reduce overpopulation which can lead to crop damage, vehicle collisions, and ecological imbalance. The program collaborates with wildlife agencies, landowners, and hunters to ensure deer populations are sustainable and beneficial to the environment. Overall, it balances deer conservation with human interests by promoting responsible management practices rooted in scientific research.
