BEAR, DEER HUNTING SEASON STATS
RELEASED BY DEC
report by WNBZ The
Department of Environmental Conservation has released the results for the black
bear hunting season and for the second year the bear take in the Adirondacks has
been below average. A total
of 318 bears were killed by hunters this past season, 70-percent below the 10-year
average. DEC speculates
on reason for the decline might be the abundance of berries and other foods during
late summer and early fall. The supply of food might have reduced bear movements,
making them less vulnerable to hunters. Locally
hunters took 37 bears in Essex County. Three bears were taken in North Elba and
Wilmington. In Franklin
County 28 bears were killed. Four in Tupper Lake during early muzzleloader season
and six in the Town of Santa Clara during the regular season. Big
game hunters harvested 113 bears in the Allegany range and another 365 in the
Catskills. Meanwhile the
DEC is reporting another safe, successful and chronic wasting disease-free season
for deer hunters. The deer
take last season was 189,000 statewide, up slightly from the previous season.
The small increase was expected due to management actions in 2004 and 2005 aimed
at rebuilding and stabilizing deer populations. “New
York Hunters once again had a safe and successful deer season, said acting DEC
Commissioner Carl Johnson. “We are also pleased that despite testing almost
8,000 deer in 2006, no new cases of chronic wasting disease have been detected.” In
Essex County hunters took 1,053 deer, down slightly from the previous year’s
total of 1,128. Hunters in Franklin County had more success, with a deer take
of 1,333. Have
you ever thought about publishing your very own book about hunting in the Adirondacks?
