Patrick Durkin: New age of deer hunting brings little joy in Wisconsin
Published: , in Outdoor News
You might assume state hunters were happy they shot a deer every other second during November’s nine-day gun season.
You’re wrong, of course. Hunters registered 85,773 bucks and 89,123 antlerless deer during the gun season, which offered about 10 hours of legal shooting daily. The season lasts 90 hours, or 5,400 minutes, or 324,000 seconds. So, yes, to kill those 174,896 deer during the Nov. 18-26 season, hunters shot just over a half-deer (0.54) per second.
