The state Game Commission is reporting Pennsylvania deer hunters just had their most successful year since 2005. The recent 2018-2019 harvest, which closed in January, saw 374-thousand, 690 deer taken in. That’s about ten-percent more than last year, and the most since the 2004-2005 season. Hunters using bows or crossbows harvested about a third of the deer, scoring about 50-thousand more than they did the prior season when unseasonably warm weather and rain impacted many bow-hunting days.
