RE: NY harvest numbers
bow27 I meant 50% successful recovery rate on archery shot deer. I guess I should've specified. But I also wrote I heard that as a rumor someplace, and where I couldn't remember.

RE: NY harvest numbers
BuckAlley,
Do you mean only 50% of deer shot are recovered? I think thats pitiful(not that I doubt you). I guess that would be a hard stat to prove, and then even harder to figure how many of those deer survived. |

Steve,
I don't think the #'s are going to be there to back you up. Not because you are wrong, but moreso, I doubt that you will be able to get your hands on conclusive evidence to swing your friend. He would need see something that he cannot refute, and that may be a bit tougher to find. Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth anyways. Good Luck. |
RE: NY harvest numbers
I meant 50% successful recovery rate on archery shot deer I personally have around 96% recovery rate on Deer shot with a bow and thats with over 50 bow kills. |

Steve and Phade,
The #'s are in and I believe they are in the other guys favor. Here is the Archery Season take for 2004 by WMU. The columns are WMU, adult males, fawn males, adult females, fawn females and total.

RE: NY harvest numbers
Dang Bow27, that took you alot of typing! Where did you find this archery info?
|
RE: NY harvest numbers
I like bowhunting as much as the next guy, but as a taxidermist I can tell you stuff you wouldnt wanna hear. Like how many times each year I cape out bucks that have healed scars from broadhead pass-throughs...in their necks! Three blade and four blade scars, going in and coming out. For as many necks as Ive skinned out over the years, I still have never found one set of lungs or a heart in one, either. Too bad some more guys dont respect this animal that gives them so much pleasure.

RE: NY harvest numbers
It was a copy and paste from a e-mail from the DEC.

RE: NY harvest numbers
Good find.
It only answers part of the statement. Little can be known about kill/wound ratio with a degree of confidence. And as far as the numbers are concerned, I would hope that this be the case, as archery hunters are more selective due to the nature of the hunt. I have no problem with that. |
