The Wisconsin DNR reports seven gunfire deaths in the nine day 1987 deer season, with total accidents varying yearly between 80 and 110. Officials note group hunting injuries have risen since 1983 and urge study of near misses and safer practices while considering longer seasons.
Fennimore hunter Curt Ruchti found the eight point deer he shot was a female. The Grant County doe had a 13 inch rack and female organs. DNR official Paul Brandt noted rare cases of male antlers on does. In Vernon County LaVon Crum shot a doe with horns, 196 pounds live weight, while six hunters watched the field dressing reveal female parts.
Wisconsin DNR figures show an early estimate above 250000 deer killed in the 1987 nine day November season. North Wisconsin produced many big bucks, while southern farming areas were hit by fewer kills due to herd reductions and heavy weekend rain.
