25% of a new population of 200,000 guys in archery season equals 50,000 more dead deer if my math is right.
Matt:
With all due respect....you're assuming these hunters wouldn't be successful in one of the gun seasons.....since you're a one and done buck state.
The amount of tags wouldn't change.....so, theoretically....the number of harvests shouldn't, either.
I'm on you guys side as far as YOUR state goes (wouldn't matter, here IMO).....but the above needs noting if we're going to look at this logically.
If my logic is way off.....I suspect someone will set me straight.
