[QUOTE="ScottB, post: 445745, member: 28606"] The last time I talked to my dad, he told me the total deer harvest for last season(2009) was only 18,035! The article he quoted from didn't list how many hunting tags were sold..... The article did mention that the last two winters were hard on the deer population. High snow, more coyotes and no supplemental feeding will always equal reduced herds. Dad is going to till up the front 3 acres of the field(where it's protected by new pines along the stone wall in the front) and plant some kind of winter rye or something. Then try to keep as much snow off of it as possible(snowblower, I guess) for the deer to come and get a easy meal during the hard times. They already come around for some grain in the feeder, but he's hoping to get something green in their stomachs too!! Not as many moose in the Lebanon area as the rest of the State, and the reason? I dunno, cause Lebanon is full of swamps! Scott [/QUOTE]
