Menomonie is going to allow people to hunt for deer near the city’s landfill.
The city council last night approved a plan that will open up a section of land near the landfill and the city’s police shooting range to bow hunters. Mayor Randy Knaack says there’s a need to allow hunting in the city because the large deer population is driving up the risk for crashes. The mayor says they’re reaching out to a few hunters who may want to hunt within the city’s limits, and see if they can get them to take a deer.
