Mike,

You obviously have connections to get some data. The two e-mail questions I sent to the DOW last year requesting information both went unanswered.

If you have a chance could you find out the BB kill during the 2 day MZ hunt please?

The Bonus gun had a BB harvest percentage of 18.4% in 2012 and 19.3% in 2011.

I am curious to see if the fawns being 2 months younger and smaller (can anyone say spots still on some)had any effect on the selective harvest of the hunters and affected the ratio of the BB to doe total harvest at all.

Thanks

I did just look at the yearly comparison numbers for week 3 compared to the numbers for week 2

Last week there were 984 bucks killed, 7,379 does, 1287 buttons, a 14.9 % ratio for last week

Year to date 15,791 antlerless dear tagged with 2245 being buttons for a 14.2 ratio.

The numbers supplied by the DOW don't differentiate the doe to button ratio for the MZ season. The numbers to date are 4%+ less than the historical ratio of the 2 day Bonus, for what ever that is worth in the big picture.

Send the questions again via the "contact us" section. Say in the heading that it is a open records request pursuant to the freedom of information act. They are required by law to respond.
