Harvest for archery deer hunters jumped this week and the highest daily harvest to date was on Sunday. With 2,156 more deer harvested than this time last year, hunters are optimistic about the rut and its offerings. As you can see more doe have been taken, but that's all about to change in the coming weeks. If you were out this weekend trout fishing, duck hunting, or out deer hunting you can understand. The cold definitely had the deer moving. Below you'll see the link to county by county comparison.
