▲ 2009 buck take is 10% or more above the objective.......... 22 WMUs (30%) ✔ 2009 buck take is within 10% of the objective................... 21 WMUs (29%) ▼ 2009 buck take is 10% or more below the objective......... 30 WMUs (41%) The Buck Take Objective (BTO) for a WMU represents the number of antlered bucks expected to be harvested per square mile when the deer population is at the desired level. BTOs are based upon recommendations made by Citizen Task Forces in each WMU. BTOs are not the estimated take for a particular hunting season but rather help guide management efforts to adjust local deer populations. DEC biologists use the annual buck harvest as a gauge of population size and its relationship to the desired population level. * Buck take in many Adirondack and highly urban/suburban WMUs is not a strong index to the overall population size due to low hunter density and the relative importance of other mortality sources such as winter kill and collisions with vehicles. Thus, no Buck Take Objective has been established for these units.

Buck Take Objectives

Note: The Buck Take Objectives (BTO) for a WMU represents the numberof antlered bucks expected to be harvested per square mile when the deer population is at the desired level. BTOs are based upon recommendations of local stakeholders in each WMU. BTOs are not the estimated take for a particular hunting season but rather help guide the direction of population management efforts in an area. In many Adirondack and highly suburbanunits, buck take is not a strong index to the overall population size, so noBTO has been established for these units.

The Deer Management Assistance Program enables DEC to help landowners and resource managers implement site specific deer management on their lands. DMAP permits are valid for use only during the open deer hunting seasons and can only be used by licensed hunters. More information about DMAP can be found at www.dec.ny.gov/animals/33973.html.

Buck Take Objectives

Note: The Buck Take Objectives (BTO) for a WMU represents the numberof antlered bucks expected to be harvested per square mile when the deer population is at the desired level. BTOs are based upon recommendations of local stakeholders in each WMU. BTOs are not the estimated take for a particular hunting season but rather help guide the direction of population management efforts in an area. In many Adirondack and highly suburbanunits, deer populations are strongly influenced by factors other than hunting (winter mortality, deer vehicle collisions, lack of hunter access), and no BTOhas been established for these units.

(1) Arrows indicate when mandatory antler restrictions began in WMUs 3C and 3J. WMUs 3H and 3K were added in 2006. In 2011, the NYS Legislature extended mandatory antler restrictions into the southwestern half of WMU 3A. Because the law affects only part of WMU 3A, data from WMU 3A are not included with the antler restriction units in this summary.(2) Fawn recruitment is a measure of the number of fawns per adult doe (≥1.5 years old) in the population prior to the hunting season. The ratio of fawns per adult doe in the harvest provides an index of recruitment for monitoring trends and comparing areas.

The Deer Management Assistance Program enables DEC to help landowners and resource managers implement site specific deer management on their lands. DMAP permits are valid for use only during the open deer hunting seasons and can only be used by licensed hunters. More information about DMAP can be found at www.dec.ny.gov/animals/33973.html.

Deer Damage Permits (DDPs) are issued by DEC to reduce deer‐related damage on individual properties while damage is occurring, generally outside of hunting seasons. DDPs typically authorize removal of antlerless deer only, though take of antlered deer is authorized for some permits. DDPs authorize deer culling, not deer hunting. The reported take on DDPs is not included in annual deer harvest totals. More information can be found at www.dec.ny.gov/animals/7199.html#DDP.
