Patrick Durkin: Novel Era of Deer Hunting Brings Little Joy to Wisconsin

You might assume that hunters were pleased that they managed to bag a deer every other second during the nine-day gun hunting season in November.
Of course you’re wrong. Hunters recorded 85,773 deer and 89,123 antlerless deer during the firearms hunting season, which offered about 10 hours of legal hunting per day. The season lasts 90 hours, or 5,400 minutes, or 324,000 seconds. So, to kill those 174,896 deer during the November 18-26 season, hunters shot a little more than half a deer (0.54) per second.
