ANN ARBOR, MI - Ann Arbor is making plans to kill up to 150 more deer in January during the city's fourth-annual deer cull.
Before that, the city plans to conduct another round of nonlethal sterilizations of female deer to surgically remove their ovaries, continuing a two-pronged approach to population control.
The sterilizations are expected to take place at the end of this month to avoid being done in the middle of winter again.
The City Council voted 8-2 Thursday night, Nov. 8, to approve more than $182,000 in continued spending on deer management, while extending a contract with White Buffalo Inc. through June 2020.
The city has contracted with White Buffalo for the past two years to carry out the annual wintertime shooting of deer mainly in city parks and nature areas, as well as ovariectomy procedures permitted by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
