BT just reminded me that bowhunters have left themselves wide open for the introduction of X-bows by harvesting 25 % of the buck harvest but only 16% of the antlerless harvest. The preseason antlered to antlerless ration is around 1 antlered to 3 or 4 antlerless ,yet archers only harvested 6050 more antlerless than buck. That means ,on average they passed on one heck of a lot of antlerless deer while waiting for that AR legal buck.
40% or so being fawns/buttons, you betcha. Do you include the BB's in your antlerless total?
Refigure your numbers and get that info to me, OK?
You don't figure them buttons as does in your b/d ratio, do you?
