Area hunters bag a record number of deer in 2017

ADDISON COUNTY — A wildly successful December muzzleloader season helped hunters in 2017 set a record for deer weighed in a calendar year in Addison County. At least this is the best since 2005, when Vermont wildlife officials banned shooting spikehorn bucks during November’s 16-day rifle season, the most popular Vermont deer hunting season.
In all this year, 1,189 hunters took deer to one of the county’s eight reporting stations during the October-November archery season, Youth Hunting Weekend in early November, November’s rifle season, and the nine-day December muzzleloader-archery season, which ended on Sunday.
Capped off by a muzzleloader/archery total of 264 (only a handful were bow kills), the number of deer weighed locally in 2017 smashed the post-2005 mark of 1,064 that was set just a year ago.
Another mild winter contributed to good numbers of deer and plentiful feed, according to state wildlife officials. Warmer than typical weather during most of this fall and early winter also probably encouraged more hunters to take to the woods and fields — and stay at it for longer hours.
The recent closing of two reporting stations in southern Chittenden County probably also contributed to higher numbers in Addison County, but one local station — New Haven’s Village Green Market — gave up its license since last season, and another in Ferrisburgh closed in recent years.
Certainly, local freezers were being filled with venison and social media accounts with pictures during each hunting season this year.
Hunters killed 261 deer in the opening archery season, the best total in at least five years; 110 during Youth Hunting Weekend, the second-best total in eight years; and 554 in rifle season, a total exceeded only by 2016 among the past 13 years.
The muzzleloader/archery total of 264 was the best in at least the past six years.
WEIGHT AND DATA
But although weigh station operators described a healthy herd and hunters took down a number of 200-pound trophy bucks, average weights were down, as measured by bucks killed during rifle season.
The average weight of bucks weighed locally this year was 140.9 pounds, according to Independent calculations, down about five pounds from 2016 and three pounds from 2015, when weights were lower after two winters that were harsher by recent standards. The average weight also stood at 146 pounds in 2012 before those two tougher winters.
Also, for the previous five seasons the most populated weight class of bucks taken was the 140-149 pound range. This rifle season hunters took 89 deer that weighed between 120 and 129 pounds and 87 between 140 and 149 pounds.
Vermont Field Sports owner Dick Phillips speculated that the mild 2016-2015 winter allowed more young deer to make it through, meaning that during rifle season there were simply more targets in the smaller weight ranges.
“I would say it’s because the young bucks survived,” Phillips said.
Other county totals between 2009 and 2015 have ranged from a low of 671 in 2011 to a high of 1,021 in 2010.
The full scan for deer weighed in the county during this and previous seven years stands at:
•  In 2017, 1,189 deer (554 rifle, 110 youth, 265 bow, 260 muzzleloader)
•  In 2016, 1,064 deer (573 rifle, 94 youth, 206 bow, 191 muzzleloader).
•  In 2014, 724 (359 rifle, 107 youth, 152 bow, 106 muzzleloader).
•  In 2013, 807 (421 rifle, 109 youth, 132 bow, 145 muzzleloader).
•  In 2012, 875 (405 rifle, 124 youth, and 346 combined bow/muzzleloader).
•  In 2011, 671 (329 rifle, 110 youth, 232 bow/muzzleloader).
•  In 2010, 1,021 (428 rifle, 95 youth weekend, 498 bow/muzzleloader). 
•  In 2009, 840 (301 rifle, 91 youth, 448 bow/muzzleloader).
Buxton’s Store weighed the three biggest deer overall, all taken in rifle season: a 223-pounder with a 3-point antler rack that Wright Myrick shot in Bridport; a 213-pound, 9-pointer that Taylor Patterson brought down in Shoreham; and a 212-pound, 8-pointer Stephen Parise killed in Orwell.
Vermont Field Sports in Middlebury handled the two largest deer taken in bow season, a 207-pound, 8-pointer Robert Ketcham brought down in Sudbury, and a 205-pound, 6-pointer Michael Desjadon killed in Middlebury.
Two other archery hunters had 200-pounders weighed in the county: Richard Thurber took a 202-pounder with a 10-point rack that he killed in Bristol to West Addison General Store, and Chris Hanson shot a 201-pound, 8-point buck in Orwell and took it down the road to Buxton’s Store.
Deer taken during the productive muzzleloader season were smaller. The largest was a 164-pounder with a nice 10-point rack that Kevin Kayhart killed in Waltham and had weighed at Rack and Reel in New Haven.
The following hunters took deer to those reporting stations, or to Lincoln General Store, Green Mountain Trails End in Bristol, or C&S Hunting Supplies in East Middlebury. They are listed along with town of kill and deer details (pounds for does and young deer, and pounds and points for bucks).
Thirty-eight muzzleloader hunters took their deer to Jerusalem Corners Country Store in South Starksboro. Those names will be unavailable.
