The 30 hunters must pass background checks and pass an accuracy test.
The City of Pittsburgh will be randomly selecting 30 archers to go bow hunting in two city parks in an effort to control the deer population.
After being selected from a lottery and passing the background check, “the selected archers will be required to attend an accuracy test,” said the city. Additionally, each hunter must shoot a doe as their first kill. The doe then will be donated to a food bank.

In a “frequently asked questions” section of the website, the city explained that the deer population has grown out of control and has become dangerous to themselves and to humans. “In 2018, Pittsburgh’s Animal Care and Control picked up 335 deceased deer, and in 2021 Animal Care and Control removed 510 deer,” they said. Deer populations double every two to three years, said the city. As the goal of the archery program is to control the deer population, “requiring a doe first best helps us meet that goal,” said the City of Pittsburgh.
