Deer harvest in area exceeds 1980 season
JOHN
Heavy harvests of deer in the surrounding counties helped swell Wisconsin’s 1981 figures to a new state record of 166,000, according to preliminary statistics released recently by the DNR.
The previous record for a registered gun season in Wisconsin was 150,845 in 1978, compared with this year’s harvest of 166,443. An estimated 167,911 deer were taken by gun hunters during the “either sex” season in 1950, prior to the establishment of the registration program for deer in 1953. Virtually every county in the state substantially exceeded it 1980 totals for deer killed.
The only exceptions were in the west central district’s river block zone, where the traditional either-sex season was changed to bucks only this year.
In the immediate area, the totals include Marathon County, 5,756 compared to 3,962 in 1980; Clark County, 4,309 and 3,710; Taylor County 2,009 and 1,799; Chippewa County, 1,624 and 1,149; Eau Claire County, 2,276 and 1,854; Jackson County, 7,989 and 7,914; Wood County, 4,490 and 2,830; Portage County, 4,410 and 3,070; and Lincoln County, 3,020 and 2,436. The deer harvest in Jackson County this year, as in 1980, was the highest in the state.
Frank Haberland, big game specialist with the DNR, noted 1981 was the eighth straight year that the annual deer kill exceeded 100,000.
