DATA
Now I took a guess, but I was pretty close.
Surveys during 1998-2001 mailed to 50,000 Wisconsin
gun hunters found that use of bait had little effect on success in
harvesting bucks or antlerless deer (Table 1). Twenty-nine
percent of hunters using bait harvested a buck compared to
26% of hunters who did not use bait. Antlerless harvest
success was the same for hunters using bait (33%) as for
hunters who did not use bait (33%). In contrast, bait usage
appeared to effect success of Wisconsin bow hunters. Of the
more than 4,700 bow hunters who responded to the 2001 bow
hunter survey, 45% of bait users reported killing at least 1 deer
compared to 31% of hunters who did not use bait.
