My thoughts exactly. More tags, added weaponry, that should lead to larger harvest.


What happened when new "weaponry" was added is that the harvest shifted from one piece of equipment to another.

For example...The first number (listed by equipment type) is the percentage of total harvest from 2011 for each type of equipment used. The second number (listed by equipment type) is the percentage of total harvest from 2015 for each type of equipment used.



Bows 21% 16%
Shotgun 42% 35%
ML 26% 20%
handgun 1% 1%
Rifle 9% 19%
x-bow 1% 10%

BTW, the total harvest from 2011 was 129,000 and from 2015 124,000.
