Indiana deer hunters bagged a record amount of deer this season, surpassing a high mark set in 2005.
The state Department of Natural Resources says hunters killed 129,748 deer in 2008, a 4 percent increase over last year's total. The previous record was 125,526 in 2005.
Despite bad weather the opening day of November's firearms season, that segment accounted for about two-thirds of the total harvest.
Northeastern Indiana's Steuben County had the most deer killed of any county in the state for a fourth straight year. The 2008 season was the fifth straight year in which the state's deer harvest topped 120,000.

Tom,
We have been dealing with deer population problems in Connecticut for 25 years. Our company has developed two deer repellents, one for the winter and one for the growing season. We recently received EPA approval to sell both products to commercial applicators. If you have any interest in trying these products, please visit www.deerprorepellent.com.
Thanks,
