Default 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.

Jim....The number of P&Y bucks didn't mean that much to me. The number of hunters/sq. mi. was the astonishing part.

I can't imagine.....

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.

Nothing for NJ....but I'll give the others cited (The "top five" on each end of the spectrum):

Iowa - # of hunters/sq. mi. = .71
Iowa - # of P&Y bucks/hunter = 1 in 197

Minnesota - # of hutners/sq. mi. - 0.90
Minnesota - # of P&Y bucks/hunter = 1 in 686

On the other end......

West VA - # of hunters/sq. mi. = 5.81
West VA - # of P&Y bucks/hunter = 1 in 8,333 (wow)

Kentucky - # of hunters/sq. mi.= 4.63
Kentucky - # of P&Y bucks/hunter = 1 in 1,667

NY - # of hunters/sq. mi. = 3.76
NY - # of P&Y bucks/hunter = 1 in 2,760

That's all they gave info for.
