Sharpshooting Deer Removal Begins Jan. 1

Wheaton Regional Park is one of 12 Montgomery County parks closed from 5:30 p.m. to sunrise daily, from Jan. 1 to March 31.

A big thank you to our reader Tom Termini for sending in this photo, taken at Wheaton Regional Park. 

The sign reads, "M-NCPPC Park Police Officers will be conducting a sharpshooting deer removal program, 5:30 PM - Sunrise, in an effort to manage an overabundant population of white-tailed deer."

You can find a list of park closures on the Montgomery Parks website.
