Vermont deer herd outlook grim says state biologist
BEN DAY, state game biologist, warned to Bennington Banner that Vermont’s white tail deer crisis is severe. He cited over 1,400 deer killed by dogs, estimating total deaths around 14,000, with spring counts finding 576 dead in 20 to 25 square miles and officials noting undercounting in many areas. Day highlighted four critical loss factors: cars, illegal shooting, dogs, and crop damage killings, plus 13 percent of deer found were illegally shot last fall.

Vermont deer herd decline sparks call for stricter harvests
Vermont wildlife expert Day warns deer numbers are down due to overpopulation and poor condition from hunting methods. Reproduction may drop to near zero in Bennington County, with fawns and older does producing far fewer offspring than normal. He advocates a heavy antlerless-deer kill in a 5 to 10 year plan, despite public reluctance to fund or act on such measures.
