Laptop Battery The Bernards Township Committee announced this week that its amended application for the hunt to cull the deer population has been approved.
Resident youth hunters age 16 or 17 years old must purchase a youth hunting license and a $10 youth deer gun license (antlered or antlerless) for each deer hunted, unless exempt. Resident youth under 16 years of age are exempt from the purchase of a hunting license, but they must purchase a youth deer gun license for each deer hunted. All resident hunters under 18 years of age are exempt from the purchase of a fishing and hunting legacy permit.< >
Thinkpad Based on the amendment, the state Division of Fish and Wildlife reversed its original denial of a permit for a community-based professional hunt this year.
Resident deer gun hunters must have a hunting license and a fishing and hunting legacy permit or proof of exemption to hunt deer in Oklahoma. In addition, they must possess a deer gun license (antlered or antlerless) or proof of exemption for each deer hunted.< >
Microsoft According to a memo from state Division of Fish and Wildlife biologist Susan Martka, the permit was issued based on records showing a significant number of deer-automobile collisions (In 2001, 250 deer were killed on Bernards Township roads and an additional estimated 100 deer were killed on a portion of state highways that traverse the township.)
With a permit and in season, public hunting is allowed in the Marshall Creek area, west end of the lake. Waterfowl and small game hunting, as well as bow hunting of feral hogs and deer is permitted. Hunting licenses are obtained from the state of Texas and an additional permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers required. .
Laptop Computers However, there are numerous inaccuracies in the application, according to Martka. Among them, she said, was the town blaming the low success rate of last year's hunt on the weather. The most likely culprit was the town's own restrictions, as it limited professional hunting to a limited number of small township properties, Martka said.
That came after difficulties in designating sites where hunting would be effective and could be done without opposition from residents, Fellin said. Communities must get permission from all residents who live with 450 feet of a designated hunting area, and some oppose hunting or worry about safety, she said. Unlike the other municipal hunts in Somerset County, Bernards successfully concluded its hunt with sportsmen, said William Darrow, chairman of the local deer management advisory committee.

Desktop Computer Starting today though Feb. 15, a controlled shotgun and bow hunt is also permitted to be carried out by the Warren Township gun club on two Bernards Township-owned lands. Also through Feb. 15, controlled bow hunts may take place on 13 township tracts.
Notebooks Bernards Mayor William Holmes said yesterday that the arrival of the permit may cause the delay of a $20,000 infrared flight survey of the town's current deer population. Bids for the survey are set to be unsealed Feb. 8.
Lenovo The township originally wanted the updated survey to prove to the state that Bernards suffers from a deer overpopulation problem. Now that hunting is permitted, Holmes said it might make more sense to wait until after hunting season to determine the number of deer that reside within the town's borders.

Travelstar "If we didn't have any deer culling this year, we could say to the state, 'Look at the numbers. They're getting bigger and bigger and bigger,'" he said.
Gateway Yesterday, as deer stands were being erected and plans were under way for the hunt, some residents were upset. They said the municipality would be well-served to explore alternatives.
Laptop Parts As evidenced by its inaccurate deer hunting permit application, the town needs to do more homework on the issue, said Jane Books, who is opposed to deer hunting in town and is a member of the grassroots group Bernards Citizens for Rational Deer Management.
