948.2JAWS::PAPPALARDOA Pure HunterFri Apr 19 1991 14:148
    
    If memory serves me right, 7800+ deer taken by hunters is a record.
    
    Stats in Rockingham County are pretty fair.....1.9 or 2 deer per
    sq.mile.

948.3more than previous year anywaysSALEM::MACGREGORFri Apr 19 1991 14:201
    I believe it is 700-800 more than in 1989. 
948.4PERFCT::PAPPALARDOA Pure HunterFri Apr 19 1991 15:3217
    
    700-800 more. Did you notice that because of the longer Doe season in
    Rockingham county there's been more hunters than usual. I've been
    living in Rock-County for 30 years and been hunting it for 22, never
    seen so many hunters before.
    
    Also, The deer killed from coyotes is small. This makes sence as I
    believe the F&G are finding remains of adult deer. The question IMO is
    how many fawns as we speak are being taken by yotes? The fawn take is
    what will devastate the herd.
    
    I doubt F&G could come up with a # as I don't think there would be much
    left of a tender fawn after coyotes got a hold of it.
    
    Any thoughts on this?

948.5population explosionSALEM::MACGREGORMon Apr 22 1991 09:2312
    I bet there were alot more than the 28 that they found. I would guess
    that there were aty least double that they did not find. Up at my camp
    there are alot of coyotes. I would bet they took a few that did not get
    counted. Also I am from Rockingham county and from what I rememeber
    during the first week the deer kill was way up from the previous year
    so I don't really think the longer doe season had that myuch effect on
    the overall numbers. The overall deer herd was way up in population
    from previous years. And from what I have seen already the population
    is up even more from last year. We had another relatively light winter
    again. I would bet that this year would bring another record number of
    deer taken.

948.6most since 1976SALEM::MACGREGORTue May 07 1991 13:344
    I was reading an article in the Sunday News the other day that said the
    1990 Deer harvest was the most since 1976. It did not say just how many
    in 1976 though. Does anyone know the record for N.H.?
