REDDING'S CONTROLLED DEER HUNTS
Managed bow hunting of deer on certain Redding public lands will occur again this year from September 15, 2010 until January 31, 2011. The Conservation Commission requested and approved these hunts in 2005 in an effort to significantly reduce the deer damage on town lands.
VENISON DONATION PROGRAM
A proportion of the venison obtained from Redding's town hunts and from private property harvests will again be donated to a "Hunters for the Hungry" program, a national program that allows donations of venison for distribution to local charities and food pantries. To help facilitate this and allow hunters to continue hunting instead of processing the meat, we ask that private donations of any amount be made to cover the cost of professional butchering ($60 per deer). Checks can be sent year round made out to "Venison Donation Program, Town of Redding" and sent to Venison Donation Program c/o, Stephen Gniadek, Controller, Town Hall, P.O.
