Mature Buck Harvest Sets a New National Record According to NDA’s 2021 Deer Report

ATHENS, GA – Deer hunters in the United States took more adult and mature bucks in the 2019-20 hunting season than ever reported, based on a near-record buck harvest of 2.9 million and a record 39% of those bucks estimated to be 3½ years or older. This is one of many new insights of the National Deer Association’s 2021 Deer Report, a comprehensive update on the status of deer populations and deer hunting, released today.

“Hunters now shoot far more bucks that are at least 3½ years old than 1½ years,” said Kip Adams, NDA’s Chief Conservation Officer. “This is very different from hunting seasons a decade or two ago.”

The steadily climbing percentage of 3½-and-older bucks in the harvest is the result of steadily declining pressure nationwide on yearling bucks (1½ years old). Only 28% of the 2019 antlered buck harvest was yearlings, the lowest rate ever reported. The total buck harvest of 2,885,991 was only 2.5% down from the record buck harvest of 2017. As a region, the Northeast bucked this trend, increasing its buck harvest 4% over the 2018 season. Read more

Mexican Wolf Population Census Counts Underway in Arizona

PINETOP, Ariz. — Biologists from multiple agencies working on the Mexican Wolf Interagency Field Team (IFT) have been surveying Mexican wolf 2020 end-of-year population numbers since Nov. 1, 2020 and are expected to continue through Feb. 4, 2021. Population numbers are essential for the Mexican wolf due to the subspecies status as an endangered species.

Ground counts of wolf packs and single wolves in Arizona and New Mexico began Nov. 1. The ground count period lasts for the months of November and December and is followed by an aerial count and capture operation conducted by the IFT using helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft. Any wolf captured will be fitted with a satellite tracking collar to assist the IFT with monitoring and management efforts. The dates for the upcoming aerial count and capture operation are Jan. 21 through Feb. 4, weather permitting. Agency personnel will be limited for this year’s aerial operation and numerous precautions will be implemented to limit the exposure to and possible spread of COVID-19. Read more
