Will we be told which public properties will be used for killing deer?

I am quite concerned with Steve Feller's weekly report which was sent to the commissioners and staff today.

More than 65 residents have expressed an interest in participating in the program, but Steve Feller failed to mention to the commissioners that only "ten-ish" of those properties are suitable.

I'm also nervous that White Buffalo will only share "the number of public and private properties to be used." Public properties? What does Feller mean by "public properties," when it used to be "parks?" Parks? Golf course? Parking lots? Schools? We've now gone from parks to "public properties." Another question I would like to ask is this:
Are all the private properties considered residential or will there be commercial properties being used? Places of worship? Assisted living complexes? Professional buildings? Apartment complexes? Did I miss anything?

I'm curious to know that since our parks are public, when can the taxpayers use the parks? If signs are to be posted for hunting in the parks, are we John Q. Public rhen restricted to only use the parks when and if the municipality says we can? We taxpapyers pay our taxes to maintain the parks! Are we now being discriminated against and told no?!!!?? The parks are public domain and is acknowdgeed in in our Home Rule Charter. Since when has that changed? Have the Commissioners changed the law behind our backs? These actions do not pass the smell test! This needs to be investigated!

I'm sure the Dept of Ed would like to know about how kids wil be waking to and from school through unidentified hunting zones.

Timmy would have a fit if someone contacted the Dept. of Education. These are the safe walking routes posted on the school district website. Who is going to monitor the unidentified hunting zones, if they aren't identified?

I don't appreciate the bags of dog dirt being left in front of my house. Even though you are considerate by leaving the piles in plastic bags, I didn't do anything to the people who had "Eat More Venison" signs in their yards. Think of how many piles of dog dirt this woman from Ross would get, had she lived in Mt. Lebanon. The deer eat out of her hand: Ross woman dotes on her backyard wildlife

That sounds like an offensive experience, Elaine. Sorry to hear that.

Is there a solicitation permit on file for White Buffalo?

" “Mt. Lebanon is the toughest scenario I’ve ever worked on,” said White Buffalo manager Jody Maddock, who has organized wildlife control programs in the United States and abroad for some 30 years. For weeks, he has been knocking on doors lining up landowner approval to hang tree stands at dozens of potential backyard hunting sites."
