Game Commission: Deer Harvest Increased 2 Percent in 2010-11
|
|
The Game Commission reported this week hunters harvested an estimated 316,240 white-tailed deer in the state's 2010-11 seasons, which is an increase of two percent from the previous seasons' harvest of 308,920.
Hunters took 122,930 antlered deer in the 2010-11 seasons, an increase of 13 percent from the previous license year's harvest of 108,330. Also, hunters harvested 193,310 antlerless deer in 2010-11, which is a decrease of four percent from the 200,590 antlerless deer taken in 2009-10.
"The 2010-11 antlered deer harvest of 122,930 is slightly above average based on when the Game Commission began to stabilize deer population trends in most of the state in 2005," said Carl G. Roe, Game Commission executive director. "Antlered deer harvests increased by 20 percent or more in Wildlife Management Units 2C, 2F, 2G, 3D, 4C, 4D and 5C. In fact, in WMUs 2C and 2G, the antlered harvest increased by 31 percent."
The complete report is available online. For more information, visit the Game Commission's White-Tailed Deer webpage.
