I'm on the fence with HPR taking more deer. No sarcasm, maybe down a couple thousand, like 121,000. In the southeast it is hard to get a shot over 100yards, so HPR won't be a big Advantech. There is only one spot on the farm to get a shot around 150 yards. I do agree the mid to north Indiana you can get longer shots since it is flat to rolling fields. Time will tell.

In the end, I think the numbers will likely end up close to where they've been for the last few seasons.

Agree, you wont see an increase because of HPR, you might see a increase in wounded animals. Guys shooting long distance and winging a deer. I anticipate seeing a lot of limping deer due to hunters not knowing their limitations. I hear a lot of "my gun can shoot 700-800 yards." Which may be true but, that can can't do anything unless the guy/gal pulls the trigger. I hope it's a good introduction to the HPR but not to sure about it.

Still catching redears and bluegills like crazy. Got the 243 sighted in today. Took a ride around field today. Ground scrapes all around it. Still to early/warm for me to hunt.

October 27. About 17,000 and change Would seem we are on for most part a rather similar track this year...not surprising with all the factors of the weather/crops/less EHD reported.

Bet more will be unrecovered and wounded by bows and Xbow than hpr Id take that bet .... just because of the sheer number of hunters in gun vs archery.

Yup...great example of how it all depends on the data measured: sheer number more will occur in gun...percentage of shots taken bow very well may be larger.

I expect harvest to be up. Mild winter, bumper crop of fawns, great mast crop along with wet spring and not much EHD = lotta deer IMO.
