(AP) _ The state Game and Fish department says last year's deer hunting season was the best ever for hunters.
The agency issued a record number of licenses last year and that led to a record harvest.
Wildlife chief Randy Kreil says he 145-thousand-600 deer gun licenses were issued last year. And nearly 99-thousand-600 deer were taken by hunters with guns.
He says the total harvest was more than 100-thousand deer when combined with bow, muzzle-loader and youth seasons.
Kreil says the overall hunter success rate last year was 76 percent last year. That's about two percent higher than in 2004.
