• <br />• <br />• <br />• Modify the existing closure of the area West of Hodgson Rd., North of Ash St. <br />(Baldwin Lake area), to allow archery hunting on private property in that area. <br />• Contract with the MBRB to selectively target city owned parcels to hunt a target <br />number of deer. This would require the city conduct a deer population count, <br />identify problem /targeted areas, identify the city owned properties to be hunted in <br />those target areas and coordinate with the MBRB to establish hunting guidelines. <br />MBRB does not charge the city. However, aircraft deer counts can range from <br />$500 - $1,000. <br />Considerations: <br />If the city decides to increase the deer harvest on city owned properties, there may be <br />residents bordering those properties who would be opposed to any increased hunting. <br />Also, archery hunting holds limitations that should be considered. Even the best archery <br />hunter can injure and lose a deer. Even the best placed shot could result in an arrowed <br />deer running onto a neighboring property, particularly when hunting small parcels of <br />land. <br />
