I understand Jeff. And you are right for a lot of us. But we all know the weekend warrior types that go out only 1 or 2 weekends of firearms...unless it's raining. I would guess that half of the guys I know are like that. That has to have an affect that can't be discounted.
A lot of guys I know are in this just for a couple weekends of fun and don't take it seriously at all.
Very few of them would venture out in late seasons.
I know plenty of guys like that too. It's more of a social thing for them. They hunt opening weekend of gun and maybe the day after Thanksgiving and call it a year. More years than not they don't fill their firearms tag and don't kill a doe because they don't want to spend another $25.00 for a bonus doe tag.
I'd love to see how many hunters in this state fill zero tags, fill one tag, fill two tags, etc....I bet that data would be eye opening.
