This year, fourteen state parks and one nature preserve are sites of a controlled deer herd reduction Nov. 18-19 and Dec. 2-3. Volunteer hunters assist the DNR in reducing the size of the deer herds, which have grown too large to be supported at these parks. The goal of the deer herd reduction is to help restore and maintain the ecological balance in the parks.

Daily harvest statistics are listed here.

Bow and Arrow Idaho Bull Moose
I was very fortunate to draw a once in a lifetime Idaho Bull Moose tag this year. My area was just west of Yellowstone National Park, on the Idaho side along the south fork of the Snake river. I elected to stick it out with my bow and arrow, passing up many Bulls that I could have easily shot with a rifle. After 16 days and many many miles of travel the results proved to be colossal.
