most WMUs because the Board of Game Commissioners approved an overall
antlerless deer license allocation that was down 15 percent from the previous
year," said Carl Roe, Game Commission executive director.

Between 2004 -05 and 2005-06, antlered harvests varied from a
decline of 27 percent in WMU 4B to an increase of 24 percent in WMU 2B. However, the agency
began using reporting rates to estimate deer harvests in the 1980s, when
reporting rates began to drop. In
addition, the agency's harvest estimates represent a substantial data
collection effort on the part of the agency's personnel."
DuBrock noted that, each year, roughly 10 percent of the agency's
personnel -- working throughout the state -- check and record information from
ear tags on harvested deer.
