I think the warm weather kept the deer from moving as much but more deer were killed this year than last.
A preliminary total of 336,211 deer were registered by hunters at the close of Wisconsin’s nine-day gun deer season. Wildlife officials stress that this is a preliminary figure and likely will change somewhat. The preliminary call-in total from 2005 nine-day season was 312,519 deer. The final total for the 2005 nine-day season after all registration stubs had been processed was 325,630.
There is also a county by county total of deer killed.
