press release September 1, 2015
TRENTON – Wildlife experts with the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife this morning successfully removed an arrow that has been protruding from the muzzle of a female deer that has been seen frequently in the Marlboro area since last winter.
The wildlife experts, Kim Tinnes, Joseph Burke, and George Garbaravage, were able to attract the deer using corn placed at a private property off Suffolk Way in Marlboro. They tranquilized her with a dart gun.
The wildlife experts snipped off the shaft but, upon the recommendation of a veterinarian on scene, left the arrowhead in place. The wound had healed around the arrowhead and trying to remove it could cause further injury, the veterinarian, an experienced wildlife rehabilitator, determined.
