RE: Another PA DEER Article
Doesn't matter how many deer were or weren't shot if the number of hunters is unknown. If 8 hunters harvested 8 doe, then the success rate is 100%. If 100 hunters harvested 8 doe, then the success rate is 8%.This is the same area of the Sproul that had the GPSstudy done a few years ago to gauge the whereabouts of hunters. I don't remember the exact average, but it was something like 1/3 of a mile from the road. What they don't tell you is that this area is extremely rugged terrain and most hunters that have earned enough vacation time to stay at camp for a week or two are old enough to think twice about getting more than 1/3 of a mile up the mountain.
If these people are going to spend our money to do studies, thenI wish they'd do them in a scientific manner so that theresults would be meaningfull.
