About a week ago, I posted about the 2018 Buck Harvest in New York. This map compares the harvest density in 2017 vs 2018 - no real big changes, mostly random data error pops up in this analysis.

Eastern hellbender will become Pennsylvania’s state amphibian – pennlive.com
Pennsylvania is getting an official amphibian, a nocturnal salamander that can grow to be more than two feet long.
The House voted 191-6 on Tuesday to grant the honor to the Eastern hellbender, and Gov. Tom Wolf’s office said he plans to sign it.
The path to legislative recognition was not smooth, as the Eastern hellbender faced a stiff challenge from Wehrle’s salamander.
2018 Deer Harvest Density By Town
The other day, I posted about the 2018 Buck Harvest in New York. Today, we look at the doe and buck harvest totals for the state during the same year. Generally the trends are similar, although some areas there are more DMPs issued, which means they have a higher harvest rate then they otherwise would have.
