Default PA Deer info needed

Can anyone tell me where I can find annual harvest totals for PA? I checked out the PGC website breifly and didnt have alot of luck. I want to check out the shift in buck to doe kill ratio since the new antler restrictions were put into effect. Thanks

What year did the AR's start? Was it 2002?

Statewide data from 1981 through 2003 showing the buck harvest, percentage of 2 1⁄2 and older bucks harvested and the number of 2 1⁄2 year old and older bucks harvested for each year.
Year-------buck harvest------% 2.5 plus years old---# of 2.5 year old buck harvested
1981--------N/A------------------18.4------------------------N/A
1982--------122,264-------------20.3------------------------24,819
1983--------120,291-------------21.7------------------------26,103
1984--------135,388-------------22.8------------------------30,868
1985--------136,104-------------20.0------------------------27,221
1986--------150,363-------------21.2------------------------31,877
1987--------157,559-------------18.9------------------------29,779

1995--------182,235-------------17.4------------------------31,709
1996--------153,432-------------16.2------------------------24,856
1997--------176,677-------------18.6------------------------32,862
1998--------181,449-------------19.4------------------------35,201
1999--------194,371-------------20.0------------------------38,874
2000--------203,221-------------18.3------------------------37,189
2001--------203,247-------------21.6------------------------43,901
2002--------165,416-------------31.8------------------------52,602
2003--------142,270-------------43.6------------------------62,030


AR's were implemented in 2002. Note that although AR supposedly saved 38K additional buck in 2002, the harvest of 2.5+ buck only increased by 9.4 K. At the same time we harvested 62K of the 80K buck that were carried over from 2002. After accounting for adult male mortaliy of 18%, only 3 K of the 2.5 + buck survived to become 3.5+ buck.

Here is the link you were looking for.
