Hi all
I was reading through my hunter's guide from Connecticut when I came across a fact that the DEEP published regarding the number of deer taken here. Boy was I surprised.
Check out these figures:
Maine harvested just over 20,000 with thee bulk in Penobscot region.
Vermont harvested 15,250 or so.
Connecticut harvested over 12,000 (!)
Massachusetts harvested 10,699
New Hampshire only harvested 9500
Rhode Island had a small harvest of only about 2569.
I was just very very surprised that CT, a much more populated state than NH had had so many deer harvested as opposed to NH. Frankly, CT is still over run with them and if they offer second doe-tags as they have done in the past, that number would be evey higher.
Just thought I'd put that out there. I guess NH is more into Moose? Don't the white-tails like NH's terrain? At Connecticut hunters better shots? (
Just curious.
