Guess the gun season harvest

[Schu72]

Since its just around the corner, let the prognosticators fire away.

I think this is going to be one of the better gun seasons in years. The elimination of the bonus gun will force more hunters into the woods during the 7 day gun season and a lack luster rut left bowhunters scratching their heads...here comes the orange army:smiley_coolpeace:

Let's see...

2009 - 2010 Regular Gun = 114,075
2010 - 2011 Regular Gun = 105,781
2011 - 2012 Regular Gun = 90,828
2012 - 2013 Regular Gun = 86,963

Final Answer...

2013 - 2014 Regular Gun = 76,527

Which if I'm close, would be about a 30% decline in harvest from just 5 short years ago.

78,300.

Sean, I'm following the trend too. However, if we get snow it will be up a bit, IMO. Still, I can't imagine it would be as high as last season based on the trend.

hahaha.... Good one Milo lol....

Forecast shows snow showers the first three days for us here in the NE sector of the state so we should be a little higher then last year I would imagine.....

So I'd say 85.6k

92,000.........someone's gotta pad the numbers to keep the deer quotas up for next year!

 

[hickslawns]

83,500

Numbers are down, but eliminating the bonus weekend "might" get a few more out in the woods. Harvest will still be on the downward trend in my opinion.

84748
The weather will help buoy the numbers.

 

[RedCloud]

73800

As few deer as I and others have seen thus far will keep some from even going out. I am to the point I don't put much effort into deer hunting these days.

76,000

 

[Mike]

The way my season has gone with the lack of sightings, I say down.

 

[JD Boyd]

1,233,000

 

[Huckleberry Finn]

I'm planning on shooting one, maybe 2. Hope that makes it into Milo's 15.

Looks like a good chance of snow down most places.

 

[Milo]

With corn prices bottoming out I expect the corn to be on a little longer. May not be a bad time to hit up the local farmer for some bulk corn

 

[LonewolfNopack]

83, 972

 

[Hoytmania]

What ever the number is I guarantee there will be to many does taken.
