MADISON - Wisconsin hunters killed far fewer deer this gun season than a year ago.
The Department of Natural Resources says preliminary figures show 191,550 deer were taken, down 25 percent from last year.
The overall buck harvest was a little over 90,000, down about 8 percent from a year ago. The DNR said the biggest drop-offs came in the far north, where tighter restrictions were in place as part of efforts to rebuild a herd depleted by harsh winters the past two years.
