HUNTERS ASKED TO HELP MANAGE DEER POPULATION: SONOMA (AP) — Bow hunters are being asked to take aim to help control the deer population in a 5,000-acre wildlife preserve near Lake Sonoma in Northern California. The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports the Army Corps of Engineers and the nonprofit Friends of Lake Sonoma have launched a program that allows a handful of hunters to target deer in the forests on the northeastern side of the lake. Hunters are restricted to bows, and they have to be escorted in and out.
