[OUT Q=or later in the year]

Here's why.
It will be easier to kill deer in January, because they'll be more desperate for food.
The city hopes to kill nearly 400 deer by hiring a federal agency and a private contractor called White Buffalo.
[SOT 2:24:01]

There's also another major change.
Last year, retired police officers killed the deer during the wee hours of the morning.
