Urban Deer Hunt Permits Issued
WEST VIRGINIA....
Charleston has issued 85 permits for this year's urban deer hunt which is now underway and runs through December 31st. There's no deadline to obtain a permit. Hunters have set a record for deer kills each year since the urban hunt began in 2005. Last year, 54 deer were killed. The season's primary purpose is to control the city's deer population. Gary Foster with the state Division of Natural Resources says nine cities in West Virginia held some type of urban deer hunt last year, up from five in 2008.
