NY deer season harvest numbers in. Statewide numbers about same as last season, Northern zone take is down

Overall the NY State 2009 deer season harvest was about average, but the Northern Zone season buck take was down about 20%. It was a tough season for hunters with many reporting far fewer buck sightings. The unusually warm weather and lack of snow combined with a late start of the rut contributed to the lower numbers of both buck sightings and harvests.
