A 9674 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Establishes a town of Huntington deer management pilot program

This bill creates a pilot program in the Town of Huntington to allow licensed professionals to remove deer that are considered a nuisance, destructive to property, or a threat to public health. Under the new rules, the state department can issue special permits to these specialists, who must meet specific training and insurance requirements, to cull deer within the town's boundaries using a detailed management plan. The legislation also updates existing laws to permit these authorized specialists to use certain methods, such as setting salt licks or enticing deer, which are otherwise restricted for the general public, and allows them to take deer on public highways when necessary for management.
