Brad Schneck, 43, of Seymour, had a successful season, bagging an eight-pointer at a farm in neighboring Jennings County where been hunting since childhood. started hunting there when my dad was helping me with the tree stand, so been a long Schneck said. He now takes his daughter, Josie, a fifth-grader at Emerson Elementary School, hunting with him. Recent changes to hunting regulations might be responsible for the increase. Several regulation changes were adopted to make it easier to take antlerless deer last year, for instance, and Marcus said that appears to have been successful.

Other changes included making crossbows legal for all licensed hunters during archery season; adding a late antlerless season in designated counties, including Jackson, from Dec. 26 to Jan. and allowing hunters in the two- day youth season to take whatever the bonus antlerless quota was in the county where they hunted. Also, bow hunters saw a seven-day extension of archery season with elimination of the traditional one-week break between early and late hunts. Crossbow hunters zeroed in on 8,452 deer, or 6 percent of the overall total.

It represents an increase from 1,091 deer, or 1 percent, reported in 2011, when crossbows could be used in early archery season only by people with a disabilities permit or by any licensed hunter in late archery season. Youth hunters bagged 3,587 deer, up 55 percent from 2011, and the new late antlerless season accounted for 10,091 deer. The total harvest was made up of 45,936 antlered deer and 90,312 antlerless deer. In Jackson County, the take included 714 antlered deer and 1,445 an- terless deer. The proportion of reported antlered deer in the harvest, 34 percent, is the lowest in history, while the antler- less total was the highest.

Whether the population drop is a result to this epizootic hemorrhagic disease outbreak, recent efforts to reduce the deer herd or a combination remains, Marcus said. The cause could vary from county to county, he added.
