I'm not going to blame EHD quite yet. When those numbers came out we only had one weekend in the season compared to the two weekends in the same period in 2012. Plus the youth season was very warm and humid. Sunday wasn't too bad but it was still warm. In early season most people hunt solely on weekends and cutting that time in half will greatly effect that. I also remember opening day in 2012 was quite cool compared to very warm this year. I bet you the numbers from 2012 and 2013 will be quite similar for October.
