Instead of denigrating our fellow hunters I think all us archers should be thanking them for doing the work of managing the herd so we can enjoy what amounts to six weeks of recreational hunting ,where we do very little to contribute to managing the herd. In 2003 archers harvested 34K anterless or 11% of the anterless harvest. But, we harvested 31K buck, which was 22% of the buck harvest. If the orange army didn't harvest 289K anterless archers would soon be required to harvest 3 or 4 anterless deer before we could harvest a buck. Either that or professional sharpshooters would be hired to control the herd in many areas.
