As far as the estimated harvest, I agree that PA should improve their reporting system. We could do better but anyone who understands how statistics and the law of large numbers work will tell you that PA's numbers are statistically accurate even though they're not exact.

When you compare Ohio, I assume your talking about success rates per hunter? If thats what your'e saying, your answer lies in one of your previous posts. Ohio has less deer but far less hunters. They have more deer per hunter because we have so many hunters. The square mileage is very close between the two so the deer harvested per square mile is higher in PA while Ohio has a better success rate.

Again, read the report. BTW, Ohio is a midwest state and wasnt in that particular comparison.
