Day one of firearms was down (as compared to last season) roughly 19,000 deer due in no small part to the statewide high winds that day. Day two of firearms was down very little (as compared to last season) by roughly 1,400 deer. Day 3-16 was up this season (as compared to last season) by roughly 8,500 deer.

Early archery was up (there was an extra 5 days this season) by roughly 5,000 deer .

Muzzleloader was also up this season by roughly 2,000 deer.

Late antlerless (with fewer counties but extra days) was up a few hundred deer.

As far as the opener of firearms season goes, we all know that day one is THE day and there was no way that deficit was going to be made up completely over the rest of the firearms season as there are many hunters who hunt only opening weekend and sat out that Saturday due to the weather.
