Kids Harvest Over 13,000 Deer During Two-Day Youth Season

Hunters all across the state are doing their part to reduce the deer population.  The state’s young people have done their part.  According to the Department of Conservation, hunters ages 6-15 harvested over 13,500 deer during the early youth season October 27^th and 28^th.  There are still plenty of opportunities for all hunters to bag that buck or doe.  Archery season continues through November 9^th then the 21^st through January 15^th.  Firearms season is November 10-20^th.  Another youth hunting weekend is set for the 23^rd through 25^th.  You can hunt antlerless deer with firearms November 30^th through December 2^nd, and the alternative method season lasts December 22^nd through January 1^st.
