These numbers are complete B.S. How do they know only 40% of the hunters reported? What if 60% of the hunters reported and they estimated 20% too high with their stupid calculations? That would mean a huge drop in the number of deer killed. A few years ago my hunting group averaged about 3 buck and4 doe for a group of 7 guys. The last two years we have killed 1 buck and two doe total. 3 deer in two years! We are not a bunch of morons, we are not lazy, there are just not that many deer left where we hunt. Tell me that everything is getting better.
