A DEER control program will launch in the Bogong High Plains area this month. A trial has been running in the Alpine National Park since May 2015, with 225 deer culled. The program is examining the effectiveness of ground shooting as a control method for the invasive species, and will start in the Bogong High Plains early this month. Parks Victoria Area Chief Ranger Dave Jenson said signage would warn visitors when operations were underway.
