Deer Control
Deer removal permit program
A permit is required to shoot deer in defense
of property. Contact the local Ministry of Natural Resources
(MNR) office for an evaluation and action plan. Action depends
on the severity of damage, the level of previous control attempts
and a reasonable expectation of problem deer control. The MNR
area supervisor or enforcement supervisor issues permits to
farmers or their agents. Take these steps to request a permit:
-
File a written report, reflecting the extent
of damage in percentage of crop loss and associated dollar
value. The evaluator must consider the damage to be economically
significant.
-
Demonstrate that you have made reasonable
attempts to control deer by modified farm management practices.
Show that you permit licensed deer hunters on the property
during open season, if any. Document this information and
keep it with the deer removal permit file.
-
Ensure appropriate arrangements for the disposal
of the carcass(es) .
