Public Meeting to be Held for Shawnee Mission Deer Culling Plan | Environment

The plan drew a lot of protests last year and now government leaders must again  decide if deer hunting will be allowed in Shawnee Mission Park this year.

Last year's hunt was to thin out the deer population in the park and it drew numerous protests.

This year there are again too many deer for the park to support.  Those behind the plan claim the animals will die because there isn't enough land for them to graze on.

A public meeting Wednesday night will explain how this year's hunt will work.

The meeting starts at 7 p.m. at the administration building in Shawnee Mission Park.
