The Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks signed off on the pilot project last week. It will not significantly reduce the number of deer in town, which a nearly two-year-old study estimated to be about 700. But it gives the city the chance to work out the details before potentially embarking on larger deer removal projects in the future.
A dozen private landowners have asked police to kill deer on their properties, but city commissioners want to discuss whether to limit the project to public lands before moving forward.
