You should be concerned!

Dear KDFW,

I am really getting worried about the deer population in Rowan county. Two years ago I was seeing deer just about every time I go in the woods and now I am lucky to see a deer in 2 or 3 outings! My job takes me through Rowan, Carter and Boyd county each day on I64. I can remember seeing deer just about every day on my way to and from work and now they are few and far in between. Most of the deer I see now is in Carter county near Boyd. I am a firm believer in controlling the deer population if the deer population is out of hand. Believe me...the deer population in Northeastern part of this state is far from being out of hand. Come see for yourself. Does anyone in Frankfort see this drastic decline? If so, are you considering taking these counties out of the Zone 1 status? You should be. If these counties are left in Zone 1 status, I am afraid my children will have no deer to hunt.

45 Cal, I'm interested to see the reply to this and I hope John Gassett will start replying to us now that he has the position to make many of these decisions. There are low numbers in a lot of areas and there needs to be a lot of changes if you ask the hunters from these areas.

Whether any KDFWR employee chooses to read or reply on this site is their personal decision. This is considered a recreational site not a professional one. That's why I do this on my own time, at home. If a person has a question of the dept. the best way to get it answered is to formally present it. For instance, I receive questions nearly every day via the Dept's web site.

DC,

I would like to thank you for taking the time to this forum. It's good to know that you have a genuine interest in our questions and concerns. I have looked for your website in the past with no avail. Could you please list your departments website URL so we may formally present our questions/ concerns?

Many thanks!
