If you read Outdoor News. There is an article there about how biologists did a study of as many road kill deer as they could get. The results were unreal. %40 of the road kill deer was discovered that they would have died during the 2014 extreame winter. This means that the 2015 hunting season, hunters are gonna find that the hunting is VERY tough. Combined this info with the same effect from the 2013 winter and you end up with HORRIABLE hunting. DEC does'nt care. They will still release a report that HUNTERS did not make there estimated, DEC, WANTED kill number.
This is the carpet they sweep the( we can hand out more Doe tags and NO horn restrictions) under.
