Record Season for Nebraska Firearm Deer Hunters
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Officials say hunters killed more than 63,000 deer during the Nebraska firearm season.
The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission says the record figure was nearly 18 percent higher than in 2009, when almost 54,000 deer were killed. The commission says most of the increase was in antlerless white-tailed deer. The commission had allowed an extra 21,000 tags for antlerless white-tailed deer. An antlerless deer is any deer without antlers or with antlers less than 6 inches long.
O'Neill radio station KBRX says the weather was no obstacle during the Nov. 13-21 season. In addition, the corn harvest was nearly complete, creating better hunting conditions than in 2009.
