Deer Survey in City of Bemidji

Pursuant to the City's Deer Management Plan, roadside deer surveys will be conducted in the Northeast Lake Bemidji Area in an effort to assess deer population levels. The survey area is described as the area generally bounded by Lake Avenue, Elliot Road, Tyler Avenue and Mill Street.

 

Bemidji State University professor, Dr. Hiller, and his students will be conducting the survey, which is expected to be conducted between October 14th and November 6th, weather permitting. The surveys will include the use of a BSU van and spotlighting equipment to detect and record information.

 

Since residents will most likely witness the survey activity, we ask they refrain from calling 218-333-9111, the Bemidji Police Department or Beltrami County Sheriff's Office regarding this activity, which would normally be perceived as illegal.
