Originally posted by jjas: [b]Regardless, even if you split the data, my original point still is valid. Bowhunters are taking a larger share of the harvest while firearms hunters are taking a lower share and that's happening without moving/shortening the gun seasons and adding the late antlerless season in as well.
In essence, all you saying is...more deer are being killed with crossbows during a 3+ month long statewide, either sex season than are being killed during a late December, non-statewide, 10 day, antlerless only firearms season.
That's quite the revelation.... [/b]
I get that you see what you see, but my point has been and continues to be.....
Since 2.0 passed, Bowhunters are taking a larger share of the harvest while firearms hunters are taking a lower share and that's happening WITHOUT moving and/or shortening the present gun seasons, while ADDING a late December, non-statewide, 10 day, antlerless only firearms season.
