A34—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 15,1982
Road kill deer numbers down in
HARRISBURG - More than
24,000 deer were reported killed on
highways in Pennsylvania in 1981,
according to the final statistics
compiled by the Game Com
mission.
The 24,699 figure is down from
28,772 reported in 1980, and well
short of the record 29,914 picked up
by Game Commission personnel in
1975.
The 1961 figure includes only
those animals removed from the
state’s highways by conservation
officers and/or deer from which
permits were issued.
Prior to 1900, Game Commission
personnel picked up all deer killed
on Pennsylvania highways.
Starting in 1960, motorists were
permitted to take the carcasses if
permits were issued by game
protectors.
In 1981, regulations were further
liberalized to permit motorists or
vehicle passengers to salvage deer
if they notify wildlife officers
within 24 hours and make
arrangements to secure a permit.
Leading counties in highway
deer kill last year were Butler with
966; Bucks, 886; Westmoreland,
