Expect 150 000 Hunters To Open Season Today
Up to 150 000 hunters, many from this area, entered the woodlands as buck season opened at 9 am. Forecasts of heavy snowfall in two days boosted hopes of 22 000 antlered bucks. The game commission noted more deer than 1936, urged hunters to seek quantity over quality, and warned about doe overpopulation reducing feed. Snow would aid tracking, with fears of over harvest and the all-time duck record near 23 802 at risk. Reported weights from earlier years cited.
