We are already 6600 more harvested this year than last by Monday. I can't imagine how that is with the bad weather? That's with 7 less days of firearm harvests. Once we hit the date of last year's firearm opener year to year comparisons will never be apple to apple really.

The first weekend of firearms last year saw around 36k checked in. This year was around 17k.

Yea I initially thought the tally was for gun only but realized it was a running total of all season. I was comparing the first 3 days of gun last year to this years total.

I'm sure quite a few get killed over this upcoming weekend. But if I had to bet, I'd wager that overall harvest will be down significantly this year.

This is the latest for me this year. Just haven't seen quality deer. Might have to take a 1.5 buck for best meat and less damage to the future deer herd. I have not seen the does this year or the 3.5+ older bucks for some reason. Same locations for the past 25 years. Maybe it's going to me one of my off years. I will be back at it after Thanksgiving.

I expected the total to continue to drop again this year but with weather it will be much greater. Numbers been declining in my area for a few years now.

We've seen more antlerless deer this season than probably the last two if not three on nearly every property. Granted now that firearms has started I'm going to hold off doe harvesting anywhere except my personal property (as suburban setting without as much pressure from surrounding hunters) where I may take one if given a chip shot....however will be after a buck hits the dirt for sure. Actually hitting a tree tonight with the bow pursuing a specific buck or big visitor.

That's encouraging. It's complete opposite for me. Anterless are way down. I've only seen 2 from stand in the last week and half hunting almost every day in that window.

You guys are losing me? Here are daily firearms harvest totals by day first 3 days 2016 per deer summary. Opening day 25,231 deer killed. Day 2. 12,733 killed Day 3. 5,130. Thought we might start catching up Yday, but we harvested less yday than 2016 day 2. We are going to be way, way down it appears.

I agree, I don't see how we're going to catch up anywhere close to next year's total harvest this late in the year. Might mean a banner year for 2018.

Has anyone checked the past data on when the gun opener fell the same time in the past and see how we did then?

Russian hackers again....... Number I am interested in seeing is total antlerless kill. If it is down then quite possibly all the social media groups may have had a affect in more guys passing antlerless deer? Obviousily weather on gun opener was a factor. late start for gun opener a factor. But already through Nov. 12th the total harvest was trending downward slightly. I originally thought we would be about the same as last year in total harvest, but am now wondering if we will break 110,000 mark?

It looks to me like we have a lot of catching up to do if we're going to come anywhere close to last year's numbers, and I don't think it's going to happen. It does make me optimistic of a great season next year.

Warm weater during early archery shows a plus killed and so far not the weather for gun season is negative killed. The reason why.
Deer don't move much in high winds and or Hunters perfer nice warm weather to hunt.
