Controlling Maryland's Deer Population

Nathan Sterner

Love is in the air, especially if you’re a deer. It’s deer breeding season: a time of year that deer-related accidents on the state’s roads skyrocket.

Nathan takes a look at the state’s deer population and the variety of methods being used to control it. He talks with George Timko, Assistant Deer Project Leader with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources.  More information about non-lethal deer-control programs in the region is available from Wildlife Rescue, Inc.

Ashley Sterner is the co-host of WYPR’s On The Record. With co-host Sheilah Kast, Ashley interviews artists, scientists, community leaders, and others.
