Deer Contest Numbers
Just alittle trivia for the deer contest. As you will see I had way too much time on my hands but I thought it was interesting. I was trying to compare the numbers to what I figured was going on in my area.
Total Teams Members = 23 teams = 230 members
Total Deer taken = 57 = 24.8%
Total inches of horn = 5664 = 99 inch avg.
8 teams finished with a better than average kill rate of 3 or more deer entered = <24.8%
15 teams finished with lower than average kill rate of 2 or less deer entered = >24.8%
Team # ----------------------- AVG------------------------- Total-------------# deer

Rest of the best totals____________________________________________ ____________
15 teams -----------------------100----------------------------2411------------------24
I thought it was kind of interesting that 8 teams shot more deer than the other 15 combined but they both averaged almost the same size when compared.
Ok, like I said I had way too much time, but here is what I really was checking out
Date Entered-------------------AVG Size----------------Total Inches------------Total Deer

Dec Totals------------------------95---------------------------567----------------------6
Jan Totals------------------------66---------------------------199-----------------------3
I broke it down to my catagories
Oct 1 - 15 Pattern the big bucks
Oct 15 - Nov______Pre- rut wack and stack the little bucks, rattle em right in
Nov 1 - 15 _______Rut go after the big bucks while you can
Nov 15- Dec _____Post rut big bucks resting little bucks still looking
Dec ____________No pattern, no rut good luck
Jan ____________Snow, alittle pattern, but way way too cold you got to be nuts
I rounded all the numbers up or down so don't scream at me if you come up with something alittle different.
Had a blast this year reading all the quotes and looking at the pictures.
Don't care who wins, Don't care who loses ( this is really easy to say since my team lost) I had a blast and look forward to next year.

Sell real estate and insurance do taxidermy anything that makes my wife think I have a job and still allows me to hunt whenever I want.

Nice work by the way. There is no way I could have had time to do anything like that without being constantly interrupted.
Very Interesting results though?
