I'm a rifle hunter at heart but always buy a bowhunting permit as an excuse to go "hunting" in the early season when really I'm just scouting for rifle season. I'm actually increasing all you bow hunters harvest percentage, you're welcome!

Not really....it caps at 15% of the harvest, I don't think that it assists the numbers as the % harvest does not increase relative to the % of bowhunters. For example they would not allow 25% of the harvest to the bowhunter if the number of permits hit 25% of the total hunters.
It does skew the numbers in one fashion though....total number of guys who bowhunt.
