The most popular of the archery hunting seasons is for deer, with a record 113,000 hunters going afield in 2019-20. Those hunters took home a record 30,748 deer. This year, the Department is bringing back an important reminder to help bring the statewide herd sex ratios into balance: Hunters in the Know ? Take a Doe! By doing his or her part to increase overall antlerless harvest, each hunter will contribute to the Department?s deer management goals and will enhance deer herd health and hunting in the future.
