It's extremely doubtful Lanse. We just have a huge number of hunters per square mile. If I recall correctly, hunter success rates are a bit less than they were before HR but not that far off from what they were at their best.In order to match some of those success rates shown in the early pages of this thread, we'd have to lose a helluva lot of huntersAND let the deer pops get way back up pastresponsible levels.


Maybe RSB can help us out with success rates over the past years?
I think he's posted them before on here.
