Well it's that time of year again when this conference has almost
slowed down to a standstill. I took a ride up to the N.H. Fish and Game
headquarters last week to get my licenses for this year and also put in
for the moose hunt lottery. While I was there I picked up the 1992 N.H
Bear and Deer Harvest Report. If any one would like a copy send me mail
off-line and I will send it through E-Mail. I haven't finished typing
it in yet but when I do I'll send it to all that wants it. I'll put the
summaries in here:

| 1258.1 | 1993 deer kill under 10,000 | CHRLIE::HUSTON | Wed Dec 22 1993 14:43 | 8 | |
I heard on the radio this morning that the NH F&G has announced the
hunter deer kill for 1993, don't recall the exact number but it was
slightly under 9900, I think something like 9862. They made note that
it was under 10,000 and they had expected 10,000+.

| 1258.2 | Missouri too | SMKTST::FORSON | Wed Dec 22 1993 15:36 | 28 | |
This note struck me funny becouse the state of Missouri complained
of the same thing. They expected 200,000+ killed and only got 155,000+.
The timing was perfect becouse the last two mornings have seen two
deer killed in the morning rushhour traffic in the middle of Kansas
City.
How many other states had a lower then expected harvest? I've
personnally seen lots of animals since the 9 day rifle season ended.
Too bad none where within my 40 yard personel limit for the bow.
By all accounts, the deer population in the mid-west is booming. A
recent study by the missouri fish and game concluded that the
conditions where near-perfect for the Whitetail (35% forest,65% grain
and hay fields). Out of 600 does killed by cars last winter (a very
small percentage of the total road kill) that the Fish and Game
disected, over 85% caried twins or better. Thats right, a fair
percentage carried triplets. Every year, the number of doe tags
increases. my little county assigned 10,000 last fall alone. With 57
units averaging 3k to 13k tages, thats a heap of dear.
Are the fish and game guys that bad at guessing, or is it just
that, guessing?
Just wondering,
jim
