Pittsburgh park rangers release deer culling report

Pittsburgh’s park rangers have released the 2024-25 report from the city’s deer management program, with 335 deer harvested from five regional parks.

Archery was allowed in all five parks — Frick, Emerald View, Schenley, Riverview and Highland Park — and targeted harvesting was done in Frick and Riverview by USDA officials.

The goal of the program is to reduce the overall population of white tailed deer and cut the number of vehicle-deer collisions, while improving the health of the animals, authorities said.

This program provided more than 37,000 meals to local food pantries this year.
