deer management

Syracuse is proposing a pilot plan to trap and euthanize deer to address overpopulation, which officials say contributes to tick-borne illnesses, motor vehicle accidents, and ecosystem damage.

The Syracuse Common Council approved spending $50,000 for the 5th season of its deer and tick management plan.

This week, Onondaga County is under a winter storm warning, flu shots are being recommended and the 50th Senate District winner is still unknown.

City officials announced the start of the deer management program and discussed why the population reduction strategy is essential for public safety.

Starting on Dec. 12 and lasting through March, the City of Syracuse's deer management program will decrease the deer population to prevent safety and health issues.
