10 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Thursday, November 22, 2001 Frances Slocum deer hunt will be first come, first served The state Department of Con- servation and Natural Resources (DCNR) will conduct a regulated deer hunt at Frances Slocum State Park, Luzerne County, De- cember 3, to help control the deer population within the park. The one-day hunt is for white- tail deer only, and will be con- ducted in areas not normally open to hunting. To ensure the safety of all park visitors, the park will be closed to all other activities this day. To participate, hunters ‘must ‘hold an unfilled Luzerne county antlerless license. Only manual- ly operated shotguns 20 gauge or larger, or muzzleloading firearms will be allowed. The hunt will be limited to the first 40 hunters that arrive at the park starting at 6 a.m., and will not be chosen by lottery drawing as previous years. All hunters entering the park will be checked to ensure they have a valid unfilled Luzerne county antlerless license and appropri- ate firearm, and be asked to fill out a registration and safety ori- entation form before beéing as- signed a designated parking area. “An overpopulation of deer prompted the need to expand hunting areas at Frances Slocum State Park. When the deer population is out of balance with the park land, it affects other wildlife, including the elimination of plant species and destruction of habitats for birds and small mammals,” said Roger Fickes, director of the Bureau of State Parks. Fickes said the excessive deer ‘herd is destroying park vegeta- tion and needs to be controlled on a yearly basis. He said that after hunts at other state parks, the park staff usually sees a re- turn of long absent wildflowers, shrubs, and small trees. Safety zones, no hunting ar- eas, and park boundaries will be posted and strictly enforced. Ex- tra park rangers and Pennsylva- nia Game Commission person- nel will be stationed throughout the park area during this hunt. For more information about the regulated hunt, call the park office at (570) 696-3525.
