Deer harvest up 4 percent this year

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - March 18, 2009 The Pennsylvania Game Commission said Wednesday that in many parts of the state, the antlerless deer harvest dropped in 2008-09, while the overall antlered harvest was generally on par with the previous five years.

The agency is studying the effect of its split deer-hunting season.

The total for the 2007-08 seasons was about 324,000. The year before that it was about 362,000, while it was about 354,000 in 2005-06 and about 409,000 four years ago.
