Early indication are this years hunt should be better than last years. The 1995 growing season was an excellent one, with good forage for toe animals, said Mike Welch, big game program coordinator for toe Division of Wildlife Resources. Animals went into the winter season in good shape and we expect to see improved reproduction and animals in good condition this year. Gocd weather, vegetation, and winter survival can all be credited for current deer and elk heard conditions. In case of the herds, poor weather on toe opening weekend of last years hunt helped, too. We had a big storm on toe opening weekend last year and many hunters went home, Welch said. That reduced the deer harvest, which is reflected in current buck to doe ratios. Hunters who look for animals weeks before their hunt usually will find deer and elk, and their chances for success are obviously better than that of toe weekend warrior. But all hunters should expect to see more animals this year. We may never again have enough deer to allow 200,000 hunters to hunt, as in years past, Welch said. However, under current deer management strategies, deer numbers should continue to increase to a point where a quality hunting experience will continue to be found by the hunters who are allowed in the field.
