So at this point were running about 1.12 bucks harvested per hunter and 0.61 does......I bet I could sample 10,000 more hunters and we wouldn't be too far off from those same numbers.
10,000 more hunters that are members of a hunting forum and willing to reply to a thread like this, ain’t exactly your average hunter.
Yeah, but just look at the game check numbers for example. They surveyed thousands of people and their numbers show about 1.5 bucks being killed for every doe while our quick survey is showing 1.8…..With a couple hundred more responses to our survey here I could probably be within a tenth of what they getting….This why we don’t have to survey every hunter to get an estimate good enough to develop trends from.
