Deer harvest slips about 25 percent

Wisconsin hunters killed nearly 25 percent fewer deer in the nine-day gun season compared to a year ago, with poor weather, a drop in hunters and tighter restrictions in the north playing a part, the state Department of Natural Resources said Tuesday.

Preliminary figures show 191,500 deer were taken, compared to 255,003 over the same period last year. The buck harvest was a little over 90,000, down about 8 percent.
