Indiana Deer Outlook -- Part 1: Our Top Harvest (KILLING) Counties

- I always read about "providing" deer herd for recreational hunters from state Wildlife Agencies website I have visited. Could that be the reason that many heavily hunted states has the highest DVA's?
Deer Management is really about "management" deer population for hunters recreational purpose. Just as DNR in PA has stated this as well
"We strive to maintain a deer herd that each year that can provide quality sport to more than a million hunters."

Hunting Increases Deer - Car Collisions
According to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, most car/deer collisions happen during hunting season. Pennsylvania's second largest insurance company (the nation's 12th largest insurer) - Erie Insurance - collected data in 1997 which showed: * 50 % of all deer-car collision claims occurs during October, November and December -primarily due to hunting. Hunters will claim that this is mating season but it's not. Deer mate in October - a time when the deer-car collision rate was 1600. The vast majority of deer-car collision claims - i.e. 4524 claims - occurred in November to December during hunting season not mating season. * The counties with the highest number of deer-car collisions were among the most heavily hunted counties based on statistics from Erie Insurance and the Pennsylvania Game Commission. * Pennsylvania Deer-car collisions averaged 34 deer claims per day for the year. But on the first day of buck season the average was 157 and on the first day of doe season it was 160 - a five-fold increase! * Hunting of deer predators Habitat modification including clear-cutting to enhance "edge" habitat and planting vegetation for deer.
"Hunters scare deer out of the woods through a common practice known as "driving" the deer. One group of hunters will walk through the woods, driving the deer towards another hunter or group of hunters on the other side, who are waiting to ambush and kill the deer. Of course, this means the deer are running to escape the hunters, which causes many of them to run onto roads."

Why mass killing produces more deer (good for the hunting communities and org. )
When a certain number of a species has been removed by predation, the remaining animals will replace them next time around. When predation is particularly heavy, as in deer hunting, they will even overadapt and produce surplus offspring as insurance.

If you were "blocked" I would not be reading your garbage would I?
All facts are provided from hunting website where I do a lot of reading so nothing "propaganda" here as you all like to call it.

I never claimed anything you said was propaganda. Are you feeling defensive? I said what you have posted is opinion. Thats speculation from someone, with no proof. Its what they believe would happen or be the result. They believe, but really they don't know. Thats why its called opinion. And so far, thats all you've given me, either your opinion, or the opinion of someone else. No facts. None. But, lots of speculation. I am of the opinion I deserve to win the lottery.
