Whitetail hunters set opening day record
Harford County hunters took a record 796 deer Nov. 26, the opening day of the statewide firearms hunting season, Maryland Department of Natural Resources officials reported.
The Harford harvest included 411 taken at Aberdeen Proving Ground and 385 elsewhere in the county.
The APG whitetail kill was down from a record 428 in 1993, but deer shot elsewhere in the county increased from 316 in 1993. That count was four less than in 1992.
The numbers for the first-day harvest were higher in only six of the state's 23 counties, DNR statistics showed: Dorchester, 1,316; Allegany, 1,283; Frederick, 1,004; Garrett, 1,1007; Washington, 983; and Kent, 903.
Overall, 14,438 deer were tagged on the first day at state deer checking stations. The count exceeded the average of 13,910 taken in the four previous years, DNR officials said, but fell short of totals in 1992 and 1990, when more than 15,000 deer were tagged on opening day.
