Hunting in town to be prohibited

The incident of shooting a deer with a projectile in town will be an isolated one, according to the planned actions of mayor Ed Glode.

Saratoga Police Chief Tom Knickerbocker says there is no ordinance that says you cannot hunt in Saratoga. The code says that one may not discharge a firearm or firework, but Knickerbocker says that a BB gun, a pellet gun, a bow or a crossbow may be discharged within town limits providing the projectile does not leave the property. An incident of hunting in town occurred one to two weeks ago and was addressed at the Sept. 15 Saratoga Town Council Meeting.
