With Archery going up did firearm harvest go down acordingly stay the same or go up too ??
I looked @ two different seasons several years apart (2009 and 2015), to come up with this snapshot.
In 2009, Archery season accounted for 22%, firearms season 63%, muzzleloader season 14%, youth season 1% of the total harvest.
In 2015, archery season (bow and crossbow) accounted for 26%, firearms season 59%, muzzleloader season 9%, late antlerless 4%, youth season 2% of the total harvest.
If broken down by equipment type...
In 2009, archery equipment accounted for 22% and firearms equipment account for 77% of the total harvest. The remaining 1% is the youth harvest.
In 2015, archery equipment (including crossbows) accounted for 26% and firearms equipment accounted for 72% of the total harvest. The remaining 2% is the youth harvest.
