Use Deer Control Cooperators to remove deer from communities. The
Department permits licensed Deer Control Cooperators to remove deer from areas using sharp
shooting, and trap and kill. The Urban Deer Biologist can be contacted at 301-948-8243 and
can supply communities with a list of Deer Control Cooperators, which they can contract to
remove deer from their communities. Community consensus is required before deer can be
removed using licensed Deer Control Cooperator.
