Don't mean to bring this nonsense here to your term paper topic, but I do believe DD is intermpreting the data wrong. You can't know what percentage of bucks harvested were 1.5 or 2.5 from the data he refers you to. Why?? because the data (on the bucks) comes from bucks that were brought to a check station or bucks that were checked by WCO's and biologists checking taxidermy shops, some taxidermists were enlistedas well,incidnetal checks etc. So take Pike County for instance where he states that over 50 percent of the bucks harvested were 2.5 years old. Not true because it does not take in other (though smaller percentage age classes) and second becuase it's not a representative sample of the bucks harvested. Of course someone who shoots a bigger buck is curious to know it's age. They stop at a check station, take thier deer to be mounted. A scrubby five point may/may not stop at the check station and will not show up at the taxidermy shop. Any buck taken to a taxidermy shop is of course going to 2.5 or better for the most part. So if it had been stated that 51 percent of the bucks checked at meat plants, check stations, and taxidermy shops were 2.5 years old that would be getting close to accurrate. 51% of the entire buck harvest for Pike County would be a bit scewed. All bucks harvested were not aged so you can't make the assummutions that were stated. The calculations made about % of 2.5's with x amount of points is a much more accurrate, though maybe inherently scewed as well. If you did your paper would not be valid. Good luck, wouldn't have brought this here but you got scewed info that needed clarification
