More data, Diesel is shooting all the deer in Maryland

In the 2002-03 hunting season, the total archery harvest across North America for whitetails, blacktails, and mule deer was 799,109. Collectively, bowhunters had an average success rate of 23 percent! Maryland bowhunters led the pack this year with an incredible 61-percent success! Florida (55 percent) and Kansas (54 percent) weren't far behind. These figures are simply astonishing when you consider that some state's firearms success rates still don't compete with these figures. Georgia bowhunters took the most deer with an estimated 80,000 whitetails. Pennsylvania bowhunters came in second with 74,051 deer.


Guys what we have to remember is we are the top hunters. It is why we come to site like HNI to learn more and get better, so we all tend to get deer every year. How many guys have a friend who never gets a deer?
