Brandywine Creek State Park Deer Hunt Results
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010 Posted in Deer Hunting News, Hunting Reports | No Comments »
The annual two-day managed deer hunt held in December in Brandywine Creek State Park drew 48 hunters who harvested 28 deer, sending about 630 pounds of venison to local food banks to feed Delawareans in need. Jointly managed by the DNREC Divisions of Fish and Wildlife and Parks and Recreation, the hunt was started in 1994 to keep the number of white-tailed deer on the 1,000-acre park at a manageable level and curb the serious habitat damage caused by an unchecked deer population foraging in the park. While the first year of the hunt was the most successful, with 60 deer harvested, this year’s harvest was similar to the previous 10-year average of 27 deer.

Spearers will have a better chance of harvesting a sturgeon -- and a really big sturgeon at that -- when the 78th consecutive spearing seasons get underway Feb.13 on the Lake Winnebago system. The system-wide harvest cap for adult females for the 2010 season has been increased to 740 from last year’s 630, and is nearly double the limit set in 1997 when the state Department of Natural Resources started capping harvest. At the same time, the number of trophy size fish in the population has been increasing significantly, resulting last year in spearers harvesting 42 sturgeon between 100 and 168 pounds, the highest percentage of trophy-size fish ever recorded in the history of the fishery.
