Duluth, Minn. Too many deer are walking around within Duluth’s city limits, so officials might allow bowhunting to thin them out. The plan being created by the Deer Task Force should be ready for public review by late March.

Shooting deer within Duluth city limits has been prohibited for
at least 10 years. The idea to hold a hunt has gained momentum with
more frequent car-deer accidents and reports of deer dining on
people’s shrubs and gardens.

Opponents of a hunt are concerned about the danger. They also
say the deer give Duluth a woodsy, rustic quality. Hermantown and
Superior, Wis. already allow bowhunting.
