Deer Kill Total

Sad state of affairs down here in our corner of the state. I'm proud of the people in Washington County as there was a lot of self-regulation that took place. I was at my taxidermist's shop this week and he took in a total of 4 deer this year (down 90% or better from a typical year). He said the vast majority of his clients elected not to hunt. He had to resort to part-time employment for the first time in a decade to make ends meet. Stacking on a nasty winter storm isn't going to help with the recovery unless it was cold enough to kill midge larvae.

Fayette had the second highest kill they have ever recorded. I recall in 1994-1995 we killed right at 600. It was around 300 since, until last year when there was 400ish. We have seen a rebound for real, it’s noticeable in the field as well… it only took 30 years to get the numbers back.
