MADISON, Wis. (AP) — State wildlife officials say hunters killed 5 percent more deer last year than in 2011.

According to preliminary data from the Department of Natural Resources, hunters killed a total of 366,747 deer over all the state seasons last year compared with 347,711 in 2011.

They killed 245,539 deer during the 2012 traditional nine-day November gun hunt and 93,452 during the archery season, including 45,775 bucks, a new state archery harvest record.

The numbers aren’t final. The archery season continues in metro units.

Oh how can remember all of the whining about not seeing deer,all it takes is some home work and a will to succeed. The result in most cases is success.
