Box 1968 <br />Sanford, NC 27331-1968 <br />Dear Mr. Crompton: <br />r ►~I (919) 775-8202 <br />c~'9areaEO•e,> FAX: (919) 775-8205 <br />Email: hal.hegwer@sanfordnc.net <br />of "`~Uflfarb Hal Hegwer <br />City Manager <br />The Sanford City Council will be holding a public hearing for citizen input regarding participation in the <br />Extended Urban Archery Deer Season on Tuesday, February 16, 2010, at 7 P.M., in the Council <br />Chambers. This would allow individuals to hunt deer with bow and arrow only on private property in the <br />city limits with permission of the property owner. If approved by Council and the Wildlife Resources <br />Commission, this extended season would not go into effect until January 2011. I have enclosed a copy <br />for your review of the proposed ordinance which explains the Extended Urban Archery Deer Season. <br />It was expressed in the meeting that Lee County is not in the Eastern Deer Season, which allows hunting <br />with guns to start a month earlier than the Central Deer Season, to which Lee County is currently <br />assigned. The City of Sanford would like to either be assigned to the Eastern Deer Season or ask the <br />Wildlife Commission to allow the Central Deer Season to start gun season the same time as the Eastern <br />District begins. Gun season for the Eastern Deer Season begins October 16, 2010. Gun season for the <br />Central Deer Season begins November 13, 2010. Muzzleloading Firearms Deer Season begins one week <br />prior to the gun season. The State of North Carolina Wildlife Commission shows that more deer are killed <br />by guns than with bow and arrows. <br />The Sanford City Council would like to see if Lee County would be interested in joining the City in <br />requesting that Lee County be assigned to the Eastern Deer Season or allow the Central Deer Season to <br />start gun season a month earlier. <br />We would appreciate you bringing this matter before the Lee County Commissioners at your next meeting <br />and informing us of the outcome. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me. <br />Sincerely, <br />:Hal eg <br />• City er <br />Enclosure <br />HH:bw <br />Lee County <br />Managers Office <br />FEB 0 5 2010 <br />
