MILTON HERSHEY SCHOOL

HUNT PROGRAM

Todd Pagliarulo – Hunt Manager

2012-2013

I WORKED WITH MIKE KOEGLER, FACILITY RESOURCE COORDINATOR, TO TRACK THE GPS LOCATIONS OF THE MILTON HERSHEY SCHOOL TREE STAND AND BLIND LOCATIONS. MR. KOEGLER WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE A MAP PDF FILE SO WE COULD DETERMINE THE LOCATIONS OF ALL OF THE MILTON HERSHEY SCHOOL HUNTERS. THIS WAS NOT MANDATORY FOR THE HUNTER TO COMPLETE FOR THE 2012-2013 HUNTING SEASON. WE ARE NOW TRYING TO ADDRESS A STRATEGY TO BE ABLE TO APPROVE THE GPS LOCATIONS OF OUR HUNTERS BEFORE THEY HUNT.

DEER HARVEST

2012-2013 MILTON HERSHEY SCHOOL HUNT PROGRAM

ALTHOUGH WE DID NOT REACH A RECORD NUMBER OF KILLS FOR 2012 – 2013, WE DID HARVEST MORE FEMALE DEER THAN MALE DEER, AND THAT IS THE GOAL OF THE MILTON HERSHEY SCHOOL HUNT PROGRAM. 

THE MILTON HERSHEY SCHOOL HUNT PROGRAM HAS JUST COMPLETED ITS FIFTH YEAR. OUR HUNTERS HAVE HARVESTED 156 MALE DEER AND 318 FEMALE DEER FOR A TOTAL HARVEST OF 474 DEER FOR THE FIVE YEARS.

THEREFORE THE MILTON HERSHEY SCHOOL HUNT PROGRAM IS A SUCCESS!
