Deer are on the loose in Havre, but the city has a plan for better management. According to the city’s press release the management program is to provide for a healthy, wild deer populations for the citizens of Havre and to reduce the negative impacts to people and property caused by the deer that are in and near the city.
The plan allows for public hunting that will begin December 1st through February 15th. The primary hunting is for antlerless mule deer only within designated property areas of the City Limits, City Property, and designated surrounding areas. Hunting is restricted solely to the use of archery equipment in the City and as defined by Fish and Wildlife commission Big Game Regulations. Rifles may be considered and used in certain designated areas outside City Limits. All hunters will be required to have daily written permission from the city or the property owner.
