Deerhunt in Ridley Creek Park Set for January Six Days
The Pennsylvania Game Commission voted unanimously to hold a six day January deer hunt in Ridley Creek State Park in Edgmont despite objections from about a dozen Delaware County protesters. The hunt for antlered and antlerless deer is scheduled for January 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, and 12 to curb the park herd considered out of control. Local residents urged courts to block the plan, while park officials and opponents debated safety and shrub damage near the park.
