PA Wildlife Conservation Officer Douglas E. Bergman called a resident this morning, after she contacted the PA Game Commission out of frustration with the Mt. Lebanon Police. The Mt. Lebanon resident had been reporting sounds of gunshots to MLPD and was continually being told that she was the only one who reported gunshots. She was even told that it may be a transformer or a loose manhole cover that makes a sound when a car drives over it.
Bergman is listed on special use permit here. http://mtlebanon.org/DocumentCenter/View/11354 I found his contact information here. http://www.peoplebyname.com/people/Bergman/Douglas/Sutersville/PA
Mt. Lebanon Police have been telling residents that DeNicola is using silencers. However, Bergman said that they are using "High powered supersonic rifles" which are hard to silence. We were told that bullshit ten years ago, when they were killing deer next to my house. It was VERY loud.
Bergman said that they have been shooting every night, that the "high powered ammunition" they are using is only muffled slightly by the silencers, and that he has been getting calls every night about shots being fired. He told the resident that the police are probably tired of getting calls and are telling people no one else is calling. He said that they (killers) have to call him every day before anyone shoots and they have been calling him every day.
Shooting started last Thursday (February 24, 2016) and will continue "until they reach their goal."

And what's the goal? Eradication?
They won't stop until April 1.
The pro callers don't want to see one deer alive.
They'll be very upset to see even one deer alive.
i don't hate many people but i do strongly dislike those heartless pro kill women who live in Lebo they sort of remind of Donald Trump when he screams at his rallies.."get them out"!!!!
These humans may have $$ and live in mansions but they lack feeling and compassion
How disgusting that this resident was lied to by the Mt. Lebanon police! Where was the gun sound coming from? A park?
Why is it OK to call 911 when there is a deer standing in the back yard not doing anything, but when a resident calls in hearing gunshots, we're treated like we are imagining things?

What happens if someone is actually getting shot? Home invasion, domestic dispute, etc. A call is placed and brushed off.
It's totally unacceptable to be lied to by your own police department.
The Mt lebanon pd must protect the killers. Forget about the citizens. Citizens don't matter.
The municipality is "gaslighting" us.
This should be disseminated far and wide. What a joke of a police department. trying to look tough in your sunglasses doesn't make a good police officer.
Again, please, what IS the official stated goal?
To kill 150 deer.

Thank you, Elaine. That's what I thought but I wanted to double-check.
In your post on this topic, Elaine, I think you may have used an unusually large font for the word "shooting" in the heading. We need to whisper it, remember?
What they want me to use is "harvesting." Judge Nauhaus said they should use "killing." He was tired of all the euphemisms.
