I updated the numbers to include the 2023 season and the limited results data for this year.
A couple of observations
Highest gun week harvest since 2011
Youth harvest numbers for 2024 remain pretty flat but 10,000 less youth permits sold according to published data. I'm not sure the youth permit data is accurate. That drop seems excessive and if real signals an even larger future hunter recruitment problem than is already well documented.
Archery harvest in 2023 exceeds 100K for the first time ever
