[Larry]

Has anyone seen the deer harvest report for 2012 its usually out in march.

Yeah, it does seem to be running a bit late this year. I'm looking forward to the town-by-town report.

_{Hunters took approximately 243,000 deer (124,000 antlerless deer and 119,000 adult bucks) during the 2012-13 hunting seasons, about 6 percent more than were taken the previous year. Increases were most pronounced in the Northern Zone where total take (30,840) increased 15 percent from 2011.  In the Southern Zone, the adult buck take (about 98,570) increased 6 percent and the antlerless take (110,900) increased 5 percent from 2011.  The 2012 harvest reflects deer populations that are greater than desired levels in many parts of New York.  Increased take of antlerless deer will be necessary in 2013.}
