The total kill was released today. It was 204,000. That's 50,000 less than last year. There were over 83,000 antlerless deer killed in the 22 day season.
The statement in the article seems to hint that there will continue to be "liberal" antlerless seasons. I sure as hell hope the DNR knows what they're doing. We say a lot less deer on our 400 acres...but our county (Braxton) killed over 6,000 deer. Maybe the deer are onto us...LOL
