Mt. Lebanon deer cull may be postponed
"The start of the controversial cull of 150 white-tailed deer in Mt. Lebanon, planned for Monday night, might be delayed for technical reasons.
Brian Benner of Wildlife Specialists said today that some necessary equipment wasn’t in place.
And the company plans to request an addendum to its permit from the state Game Commission, he said, expanding the number of workers it may use during the operation.
“I’m not sure if we’ll start Monday or not. It depends on how much equipment we can set up,” said Mr. Benner. “We still have to set up some cameras and different technology that lets us know where the deer are.”
The special use permit allows only two workers to participate in the project. Increased manpower would enable the work to proceed more quickly and efficiently, said Mr. Brenner."
