Notes: The Buck Take Objective (BTO) for a WMU represents the number
of antlered bucks expected to be harvested per square mile when the deer
population is at the desired level. BTOs are based upon recommendations
of local stakeholders in each WMU. BTOs are not the estimated take for a
particular hunting season but rather help guide the direction of population
management efforts in an area . In many .Adirondack and highly suburban
units, deer populations are strongly influenced by factors other than hunting
(winter mortality, deer vehicle collisions. lack of hunter access), and no BTO
has been established for these units. In WMUs with mandatory antler
restrictions, buck takes are no longer a valid index of relative deer populations.
