Agenda Item Summary:
The City of Rapid City recognizes the need to manage the deer population in Rapid City due to lack of natural predators to control their populations (for the most part). Deer in the City contribute to a number of auto accidents every year, they also contribute to the spread of disease, the deterioration of habitat for other species, and the damage of home gardens and landscaping. If approved, this program designed to manage the City deer population will be its seventh year. In 2024, Council approved the notable addition to allow individual hunters the opportunity to harvest one buck in addition to one doe once a doe is harvested. This additional opportunity is proposed to continue in 2025.
