Here is a quote from Steve Trupe of QDMA.
Lower kill numbers during the current season are in part a function of weather patterns, said Steve Trupe, with the Quality Deer Management Association, a group that aims to balance deer population with habitat sustainability.
''The deer adapted to the circumstances, the hunters didn't.
It's that simple,'' Trupe said.
Can anyone explain how the weather patterns caused fewer deer sightings and lower harvests in 2004. I though the weather was much better than in 2003.
