2024-2025 Deer Management

UPDATE ON 2024-25 REDUCTION EFFORT:

The 2024-25 Deer Management Program has concluded for the season. The City of Roseville worked with the United States Department of Agriculture, the MN Department of Natural Resources and Ramsey County to implement the program. Click here to view the 2024-2025 Roseville Deer Management Report from the USDA. Please call 651-792-7006 with any questions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The city will again be working with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to provide sharpshooters for this project.  These sharpshooters are employees of the USDA and are specially trained to remove a predetermined number of deer in a relatively short period. They will utilize equipment and methods that are efficient and effective to prioritize the safety of residents. 

The goals of the program are to safely maintain a healthy herd, reduce property damage, respond to resident concerns, and to coordinate efforts with the USDA and the DNR (Department of Natural Resources). The City of Roseville’s deer population is currently estimated to be above the number appropriate for a healthy herd.

In early December, the USDA will begin baiting deer within the areas noted above. Control efforts will start once the appropriate number of deer begin using the bait stations. We expect these efforts to take place periodically between December 1, 2024 and conclude no later than the end of March, 2025. Controls will take place on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evenings between dusk and dawn.  Suppressed firearms will be used, but some residents may still hear muffled gunshots. All meat will be donated to citizens in need by the USDA.  

This letter was sent to residents near the control areas listed above to inform them of the 2024/2025 Deer Management:
