Last year 2009 I saw less deer than previous years. ALL the other hunters I talked to told me the same thing and some of them didn't kill any deer. I made it a point to ask every check station i visited how many deer they checked in compared to last year which would be 2008 and all of them said they were down and one told me they were down over 150 from the previous year. The park hunt i attended was also down on deer harvested.
From the info I collected the deer harvest was down most everywhere in the state and i figured we would be way down on deer harvest numbers, but when the numbers came out we supposedly killed more deer than any time in the history of Indiana deer hunting. I found this very hard to believe from what check stations and hunters had told me in my area. Many of the members on this board were saying the same thing, they weren't see or killing a lot of deer either.
Now to my point, with these new deer hunting proposals the IDNR is coming out with would it have been harder to sell them to the public if we had killed less deer in 2009 than 2008?
