Thats good info. But, what is really needed is archery mule deer tags compared to the total # of mule deer tags.

be careful what you wish for....in some zones from what ive seen, archery participation would change those numbers for the worse. the point is that archers should be getting their representative percentage of harvest. in some zones archers account for higher percentage, and some cases lower. although some wmus may benefit from actual numbers....others would suffer.

that doesnt apply to mules only by the way.

Actually, the real # to know is archery mule deer harvest compared to the total harvest

These are the numbers that are "extrapolated for an entire populace due to an insufficient sampling size" in SOME cases.

Honestly, I think we started this thread about 6 months to early. Its only December 16th for Pete's sake. This is gonna fizzle and we are going to have to spend the rest of the winter arguing about ballistics or why the .270 is the best ever........

All kidding aside when I heard what kind of math they were using to arrive at the stats....I know what they can do with their upcoming survey this year.
