More than 14,000 deer harvested for only the fifth time in state’s history
DOVER (March 11, 2015) – Delaware hunters harvested 14,239 deer during the 2014-2015 season, only a slight decrease from last season’s total 14,263, DNREC’s Division of Fish & Wildlife announced today. The 2014-15 deer harvest ranks as the fourth all-time highest deer harvest for Delaware.
\”We anticipated that hunters would have a successful season this year due to favorable habitat conditions resulting from the cool and wet spring and summer,\” said Deer and Furbearer Biologist Joe Rogerson, Division of Fish & Wildlife. \”Delaware’s highest deer harvest occurred during the 2004-05 season, with 14,669 deer. This past season, we were only a few hundred deer from setting an all-time record.\”
