Sudbury\u2019s Deer Management Program<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since 1999, the Conservation Commission has implemented a deer management program on a number of conservation parcels to responsibly manage the deer population through bow hunting, by permit from the Conservation Commission. After much consideration, the Commission implemented this Program to fulfill its responsibility to manage Sudbury\u2019s open spaces for the benefit of Sudbury\u2019s native plants and wildlife, to sustain the environmental integrity of these conservation lands, and to protect these lands from illegal hunting. The purpose of this Program is to stabilize the deer population, in a safe manner, as part of the Commission\u2019s land stewardship obligation under the Conservation Commission Act.<\/p>\n

Sudbury\u2019s Conservation Commission permits bow hunting for white-tailed deer on 15 conservation parcels from October through December 31st. A small number of bow hunters (generally one to three per property) are assigned to the following Conservation properties:<\/p>\n
