52,000 deer shot over the weekend, which seems like a lot

We’re not exactly hunting experts at the Q101 Morning Crew, but we were staggered at the total of dead deer from the first weekend of riffle hunting season. 52,354 deer were “harvested” over the weekend. That is somehow up from 48,964 that were axed at this time last year.

Thanks to our friends at WGN, who have tabulated the deer per county.
