bawanajim,I took the liberty to look up past harvests for Crawford county.You decide if the hunting is worse there now than ever before.
1970-730 antlered,697 antlered
1980-1106 antlered,842 antlerless
note:these two years were actual reported harvest not calculated.
1990-4364 antlered,6311 antlerless
1995-3849 antlered,5565 antlerless
1999-4864 antlered,4998 antlerless
2003-4110 antlered,9440 antlerless
2005-I don'thave the county data but heres the breakdown between wmu's 1a and 1b.
1A-51000 antlered,15600 antlerless 1B-5400 antlered,12000 antlerless.
It looks to me like they're still killing a pile of bucks in Crawford county.Much more in fact than they did in the 70's and 80's.
Doug do you happen to know what year the PGC started to use estimates for harvest numbers and not the actual returned cards?[/align]
