ABOUT MASS DEER SERVICE

MASSDEERSERVICE HELPS LANDOWNERS REDUCE "NUISANCE DEER" PROBLEMS IN THE SUBURBS OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS

MassDeerService is an association of conservation-minded individuals who share a passion for the outdoors. In fact, the founder, Dan Wolff is an entrepreneur, and will be opening a new business in the pet industry in early 2009. If your interested in learning more about Dan's self-service dog wash, doggie daycare and retail product store located in Waltham, MA, please visit www.hrpupsnsuds.com

Dan is a 44 year old married father of two boys, who spent most of his childhood in Wellesley Hills, MA. He attended private high schools in Weston and Groton, Massachusetts and attended College in Saratoga Springs, New York where he received his BS degree in Business.

Dan was introduced to the shooting sports and hunting while living and working in the Elmira, NY area over 20 years ago. He participates in archery, rifle, shotgun and black powder hunting in Massachusetts and NY. He has completed courses in hunter safety and handgun safety, and is a senior member of the Woburn Sportsman's Association. He keeps well informed on issues related to shooting and hunting and considers safety, responsibility and conservation his top priorities.

When issues with the increasing deer population started to surface about 15 years ago, he set up this successful program in Dover, MA that allowed him to not only to do what he loved, but also to help out landowners with a burgeoning problem.

This site was set up to inform residents of the MetroWest area of Boston, Massachusetts about this valuable free service.

Deer can be a danger to yourself or your property

If you are a landowner living in towns such as Weston, Wayland, Lincoln, Dover, Sherborn or surrounding communities, MassDeerService may be able to help you.

You are probably aware of the issues and problems the somewhat recent deer population explosion in your area have created. You may have been inconvenienced by hungry deer, and may feel familiar with "the big picture" as problems have burgeoned in the past decade.

Hungry deer may have decimated your valuable ornamental landscapes. Where most wildlife biologists consider the optimum carrying capacity to be 13 deer per square mile, certain suburban areas contain more than 30 deer per square mile! This is a serious issue affecting both the human populations as well as management species such as the Whitetail.

In Massachusetts alone, a large number of deer are hit with cars every year, and in a certain percentage of collisions, have caused fatalities or serious injury to vehicle operators and/or their passengers.

Lyme disease… The deer tick can transmit certain bacteria that cause Lyme disease. While education and awareness have proven positive in the reduction of new cases every year, as long as deer populations are high and/or concentrated, people will continue to contract this disease.
However, you need not feel too vulnerable. You are not automatically infected if a deer tick simply bites you. As I understand it, a young deer tick (which can be the size of a pencil tip) must have had a "blood meal" which means it has fully attached itself to you for a period of 24 hours or more, in order for the host to potentially become infected. So please use common sense when outdoors and check yourself frequently.

While we cannot make any promises, we can tell you that in the past 15 years in our area, more than 100 whitetails including 27 bucks have been removed from our participating landowner's properties. As deer are prolific breeders in times that are good, that represents several hundred additional deer that could have been added to the already stressed population!!!
