Selectmen add deer overpopulation to agenda after resident inquiry
Summary
After a resident emailed a selectman about deer numbers, the board added "Deer overpopulation" to the Dec. 1 agenda; town research found 335 antlerless permits issued in the area and at least 10 deer harvested from Winter Harbor this season.
G. Harrington, chair of the Winter Harbor Selectmen, opened the Dec. 1 meeting by adding "Deer overpopulation" to the agenda after a resident inquiry. Town Manager Sara J. Liscomb said municipal staff researched permit records and found that 335 antlerless deer permits were issued for the area and that at least ten deer were harvested from Winter Harbor this season.
The discussion did not produce a formal motion or vote; the record notes the inquiry and the information gathered by staff. Selectmen did not direct a specific policy change at that meeting, leaving any next steps for a future agenda.
