In 2008 936,892 hunters harvested 335,850 for a success rate of 36%
Wrong again. there is no way to compare the success rate in 1986 to the success rate in 2008 ,because in 1986 hunters were allowed to harvest one deer / year as I recall from memory. In 2008 hunters were allowed to harvest 1 buck and multiple doe and DMAP doe were not included in the harvest. therefore, it is mathematically impossible to calculate the success rate in 2008 compared to 1986.
