Deer hunt opening weekend sees harvest gain over 2006

Adair County modern gun season continues through November 25; harvest now 47.4% of 2006 total; 474 on November 15, 2007

Special ColumbiaMagazine.com story from KY Fish & Wildlife

Kentucky deer hunters, expecting deer movement to accelerate as forecasters call for temperatures dipping into the 30s and low 40s for the next several days, are looking forward to a second banner weekend.

Hunters took advantage of brisk morning temperatures and clear weather on last Saturday's Nov.10 season opener and reported taking 17,791 deer, which was 3,053 more than last season's opening day. Temperatures climbed into the 60s on Sunday, causing some hunters to forego the chase, but by weekend's end, the harvest still had grown to 30,191, more than 1,400 better than last season's opening weekend.
