Have you seen the
preliminary gun harvest numbers? Sounds about like most expected--the harvest is down, way down.
Detailed Analysis:
Statewide: down 29%.
My area: down 31%
And I'm in a Herd Control area so we have "excess" deer!
Last year, my area was down 20%. That means that this year was down 45% from two years ago. That's crazy!
I'm not a horn hunter by any stretch of the imagination but I'm not planning to hunt anything but bucks for a while.
How do the numbers compare with your experience and expected figures?
