What’s Going on With the Pittsburgh Deer Hunt — and What’s Next?
GazetteXtra | 10/18/23 | John HayesPITTSBURGH — In Frick and Riverview parks, four deer were killed by hunters Aug. 30, the first day of a controversial archery hunt intended to reduce the city’s white-tailed deer population.
Mayor Ed Gainey’s office said last week that archers so far had harvested another 24 in Pittsburgh’s first attempt to control its wildlife.
A limited number of volunteer archers were approved to harvest the deer from assigned tree stands while the parks are open. Friday afternoon no injuries, hunting violations or archer harassment had been reported.

It’s going so well, London Breed is watching closely to see if it might work for her infestation.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to wear my deer costume.
On the other hand, you have the opportunity to make a few bucks.
What’s next?
Pittsburgh being riven by a civil war between Longbows & Crossbows, that’s what.
A new reality show?
The city will open its own grocery store, supplying the butcher with locally-sourced meat…

“Phase 2 of Pittsburgh’s deer management plan, expected to launch in 2024, calls for a cull using USDA sharpshooters at a yearly cost of more than $10,000.”
Hell, fire the sharpshooters, cut me a check for $500, let me keep the meat, and you can pocket the rest.
Suddenly, housewives are meekly answering “Yes, deer” to all inane questions from their husbands.
