RE: Thank you Gary Alt! Best wishes in your retirement!
In 2003 we harvested 62K, 2.5 + buck , which with 1 M hunters equates to 1 out of 16 hunters getting a 2.5 + buck. It also means the average hunter will only harvest a 2.5+ buck once every 16 years, not once every five years. Welcome back to the real world!!
Real world sounds great to me! 1 in 16 harvests a 2.5? Whats wrong with that?
If you consider yourself an average hunter, thats good news. To the better than average hunter, thats GREAT news!!!

So you think hunting is getting better. Here are the buck harvest stats for the last few years.
2000-----203K
2001-----203k
2002-----165K
2003-----142K.
Better check the 2004 havest data before you but that license.

Classic DD number twisting!!!
Mantis was not referring to a 10% BUCK decrease but to an overall decrease in that butchers business. Perhaps HR is working but my butcher says 10%+or- varition in his business means nothing in any given year. A 10% at one butcher shop difference can be weather, change in herd size or just plain chance.
Context, DD, context!!!!
