That stat is mathematically impossible. Check my earlier post, amend your figures and come back.
In 2005,269K archers got to hunt for at least 120K legal buck ,while around 900K rifle hunters got to hunt for 90K legal buck.

Do you think it fair that Archery hunters pay a considerable fee for an archery stamp, but then lose their rifle tag should they score an archery kill?
We pay for two licenses but can only use one in reality.

Bluebird, the reason Dr. Gary Alt chose the AR plan with extensive deer management permits was because the buck to doe ratio in Pennsylvania was so out of whack.
Mississippi habitat has a much longer growing season and its soil is lush with the vitamins and nutrients that generate much better antler development. Therefore highgrading absolutely comes earlier down there. Not sure if you would consider this a link but Dr. Demarais and I discussed this a few weeks ago in Chattanooga , Tennessee at the QDMA convention.

Rifle hunter had two weeks to harvest a buck while archers had at least 12 weeks. So which group had the advantage?
A huge percentage of rifle hunters participate for4 or less days.
The season may be two weeks, but the majority of success comes in thosefour days. The rest of the days are relatively quiet.

The season may be two weeks, but the majority of success comes in those four days. The rest of the days are relatively quiet.
The vast majority of the days during the archery season are very quiet!!
How many buck are left to be harvested after the first day of the concurrent season? That doesn't stop a lot of rifle buck hunters to continue to hunt with a very slim chance of success.

I hunt in excess of 100 hours in archery a year, not counting scouting time, stand hanging, etc.
I hunt in rifle approx. 15 hours per year, and do little to no scouting or prep.
My success rate as of right now is 80% rifle / 20% archery.
Who has the advantage?

Take me for example:
I hunt in excess of 100 hours in archery a year, not counting scouting time, stand hanging, etc.
I hunt in rifle approx. 15 hours per year, and do little to no scouting or prep.
My success rate as of right now is 80% rifle / 20% archery.
