Ross Meeting To Address Deer Problem

ROSS TOWNSHIP, PA - The problem of roaming deer throughout the township is nothing new, but new steps are being taken to address the issue. A public meeting to discuss a deer management policy will be held Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the township municipal building.

Pennsylvania Game Commission Warden Zeb Campbell will address residents' questions.

The township already has regulations in place to ban the feeding of deer in Ross. Adopted in 2018, the law calls for a $25 fine for a first offense, $75 for a second, $150 for a third and $300 for a fourth.

In a survey of 1,500 residents last year 62 percent indicated they believe the township has a deer problem.
