PICK THE UNIT YOU LIKE!

For you who are desirous to go hunting this fall, remember that on Feb. 1 you can put in for the hunt of your choice.  Also, remember that you are not guaranteed a tag.

I have included a link to the DWR website that shows you approximately how many hunters there were in each of the 30 units last year.  Of course the units last year were 5, but the DWR have taken the time to break the 5 into the 30 we will have to choose from this year.

Most of those reading this site were hunting in the new Unit 2.  This chart shows their best guess is a 16.1 to 100 buck to doe ratio.  Did you see 16 bucks last year?  I saw 4 and hunted 7 days of the 9 available days to hunt.  I guess I didn’t look under the right trees.

This chart has some interesting information.  One of which is that they guess 13% of the general deer season tag holders didn’t even go hunting.  I question this number, as it seems extremely high.

Anyway, FYI folks!
