While the 77% may have been factually correct at one time, it certainly is not accurate in the CONTEXT you are attempting to use it.

Theres that pesky word context again eh?

You obviously have zero knowledge of the makeup of 2B. I live on the outskirts of 2B by the 2D border and even out here in the "forests and farmland" the tendency for people to build on larger lots results in houses and buildings that are spaced just far enough apart to allow for plenty of wildlife cover but not enough to allow much in the way of safe firearm hunting. Remember that a safety zonedoesnt simply apply to where a hunters feet are parked but also to where his projectile will cross and ultimately stop.

Besides the vast amount of land consumed by the larger firearm safety zones, many landowners will allow archery only even on land that is outside those safety zones in this particular WMU.

Also, add in the fact that being close to a higher population also provides forfar more "after work"and "half day" hunts close to home that skews the archery harvest up as well.

But then, you knew all that didn't you? Too bad it blows your whole point as posted above aint it?
