Sorry Sheep , I stated that wrong .. I meant that bowhunter success rates weren't 15% of the total harvest , not a 15 % success rate for bowhunters .Sure , there are some guys that get one every year , but alot more that don't .Without a better registration method of kills there is no way to truly know what those rates are .The current hunter survey is a joke .I 'll talk with measurers of SABA and see how many muley bucks were killed by members last year and try to get an idea of local success rates .
