Hunters in Langlade County bagged 1,261 bucks in the just-concluded gun deer season, down from 2013 but not quite as dire as first feared.
“In general, it was a fairly decent season,” Eric Borchert, Department of Natural Resources wildlife technician based in Antigo, said. “I was expecting to have a lower total harvest than we actually did.”
Wildlife specialists had been warning hunters, especially in the heavily-wooded northern tier, that last year’s exceptionally harsh winter had trimmed deer numbers severely.
