Props go out to the guys in PA and MI getting it done.
Just a little tidbit of info. I recently read....that makes you go Hmmmmm.
PA - # of hunters/sq. mi. = 6.08
PA - P&Y Bucks/Hunter = 1 in 3,308
MI - # of hunters/sq. mi. = 7.83
MI - # of P&Y bucks/hunter = 1 in 5,166
This survey didn't incorporate "developed" lands into the "huntable" sq. mi. equation. I just found these numbers astonishing.
If anyone knows of a full state-by-state breakdown (the article only gave numbers for the "top" five in each category), I'd love to see it.
On the flip side of these numbers were those for:
Nebraska - # of hunters/sq. mi. = .19
Nebraska - # of P&Y bucks/hunter = 1 in 335
Kansas - # of hunters/sq. mi. = .24
Kansas - # of P&Y bucks/hunter = 1 in 149
Noting that the population of PEOPLE in these last two states is low (comparatively) makes these numbers NOT seem so astounding. But they are still interesting. Also it would seem noteworthy that there are FAR more UNdeveloped lands in these states (due to overall poulation of people AND the abundance of farm lands).
Just board fodder...... The first set of numbers gives me a greater respect for the guys in those states getting it done on a consistent basis.

Very interesting Jeff. Especially the Pa numbers for Hunter/P&Y bucks! We also have to remember the number of bucks that don't get scored for P&Y as well. I'm sure it's quite a few.
