We should have a good hunt this year, Cranney said. Cranney said deer hunters on the South Slope and Currant Creek units should find good success. Deer populations in Daggett County are still lower than wed like to see, Cranney said of prospects in that area. He also said the deer population on the Avintaquin Unit was somewhat stagnant, and deer numbers there would be lower than some of the other units. The regions final unit open to hunting, the Anthro Unit, is more a desert unit. It doesnt have a lot of summer range and doesnt hold a lot of deer. Hunters who know the Anthro Unit often do quite well, though, which is exactly the advice Cranney has for hunters looking to increase their success. Choose an area, learn it well, and stick with it year after year, Cranney advises. The better you know a piece of real estate, the better your chances of consistently finding deer. Cranney said those hunting in the region this year may encounter vegetation thats a little heavier than average, due to all the rainfall received.
