I'm not going to compile this for every state....but I did look next door at Illinois. They seem to have more than their fair share of negativity surfacing. Here's the comparison for last season (excluding urban zones and special hunts):
Total firearms/ML days : Indiana=43, Illinois=20
Total archery days: Indiana=97, Illinois=102
Total crossbow days: Indiana=97, Illinois=40
Quite the disparity hunting in pressure...wouldn't you agree? "Foolish" is not recognizing the differences. [/b]It seems that Kentucky, immediately south of Indiana, has set a new record deer harvest.

Kentucky Deer Harvest by Year Doesn’t Kentucky allow about as many days of deer hunting with all weapon types as Indiana? Maybe Kentucky (being just south of the Ohio River) had “better” hunting weather in 2013 than did Indiana and the other Midwest states? Perhaps less of an EHD problem? Some other explanations? I don’t know. Just asking.
Doesn't Kentucky also have its share of B&C and P&Y bucks?
