Narrative:

I have reported this problem to NASA in nov/91 and jan/92. Deer have taken up residence on the airport. This has been a problem for over a yr. Controllers have had to send aircraft around because of deer on the runway. At night, some aircraft will not land at beverly because of the deer problem. A ucr was filed in feb/92 on this problem. A fence is scheduled to be erected on certain parts of the airport perimeter. As of the date of this report, nothing has been done to get rid of the deer and the problem is getting worse. On nov/xx/92, an small transport hit a deer on runway 27 while doing a touch-and-go. The aircraft sustained quite a bit of damage. There were no injuries to the 2 persons on board. It is only a matter of time before someone gets killed as of a result of an aircraft hitting a deer. The herd of deer must be destroyed to ensure safety to all aircraft.
