The Board of Recreation Commissioners first authorized the opening of county parklands for the hunting of white- tailed deer in April 2004.
The employee-only deer hunt for Tatum park in Middletown would be held in addition to the normal hunting season and would allow workers who are licensed hunters to safely reduce the deer population.
“I’m not sure its going to fly because the round the table conversations that I’ve picked up from the commissioners, I’m not so sure that they are in favor of this,” Said Frederick Kniesler, Vice Chairman of the Monmouth County Board of Recreation Commissioners.
The anti-hunting community is against it and hunting advocates want the special culling session open to all county residents.
The Commissioners are likely to take action on the proposal June 8Th.
