More deer were killed by bow hunters in Ridgefield than in any other town in the state in 2008. In 2009, it’s in the lead again, with Redding second and Newtown third. No other towns in the state come close.

But at least one group of neighbors — while not opposed to hunting deer per se — find this year’s move to expand the hunt to the Lynch Brook Lane subdivision much too close for comfort. They have asked the Board of Selectmen to suspend the hunt in their neighborhood until they have a chance to make their case in public.
