A small-scale pilot program in Rockville last year resulted in 21 white-tailed deer being culled in an attempt to help control the population in the city.
City officials had discussed potential deer management methods since 2010 with federal and state agencies, as well as other groups.
The pilot only took place in the John Hayes Memorial Forest through a bow-hunting contract with Montgomery County Whitetail Solutions. There were three phases of the program, beginning in late November and ending in mid-January.
Of the 21 deer culled, 19 were does and two were button bucks. The 19 does were donated to provide about 790 pounds of venison.
