City of Helena Montana Deer Management Plan

In 2007, the City of Helena’s Urban Wildlife Task Force developed an Urban Deer Management Plan. The Task Force confirmed the findings of the Plan that the predominate urban wildlife problem in the City of Helena was an overpopulation of mule deer due to the ample forage, water, and general habitat conditions. After extensive meetings that included city officials, members of the public, and wildlife specialists who reviewed existing urban wildlife plans, the Task Force presented its recommendations to the City Commission. This Plan was adopted by the City Commission.
