Deer counts in Whitpain Township
Archery program in its fourth season; started from incident data, not a count. We fly winter deer counts and seasonal movement studies for township land, parks, preserves, and private property here, with travel included.
What the public record shows
Deer management in Whitpain Township
- A township deer committee recommended an archery program based on 153 deer incidents recorded in 2022, not a population count. Whitpain Township town hall, Jan 2023
- The archery program is now in its fourth season, on township-owned parts of Armentrout Preserve, Prophecy Creek Park, and the Wurtz Tract (added in 2026). Whitpain Township notice, Sept 2026
What a count would add
A count across the three program properties would show whether four seasons of archery have reduced the herd, and would set a baseline for the new Wurtz Tract.
