The town of Bristol and the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management are aiming to reduce the deer population in the town with the help of bow-and-arrow hunters.
There are four town-owned parcels that were opened last month to archery deer hunting.
You can view maps of the parcels online at Bristol-RI-dot-gov.
The season will run through January 31st.
Officials say many Bristol homeowners have complained about deer causing damage to gardens and other property, and there has also been a spike in motor vehicle collisions.
