Week 2 Oct 3 - 10
This weekly report is based on logs received by Oct 17. Deer 2005 Weekly Total 3371 2004 Weekly Total 2477
Percent Change 2004 to 2005 36%

Number of stations reporting 2005 - 287 (out of 416 ) for 69%
Number of stations reporting 2004 - 238 (out of 404) for 59%
WW - Since there are more check stations reporting this year than last year I broke it down to a common denominator

I don't know if it is broke down that way yet or not, but I can ask.. My best guess is that the overwhelming majority are antlerless deer. Those early archery bonus tags helped that out somewhat.

Interesting info...thanks. The ability to use bonus tags in early archery has to be making a big difference. I was happy to see that change.

On the old IndianaSportsmen.com we had a poll on the subject of "Should a bowhunter be allowed to take his bonus deer in early archery? It was over 90% that said YES. I know that the IDNR recieved a copy of that poll as I handed it to them personally.

It would be nice if they would have a special like get 2 for the price of one.I just can't afford all the extra tags now days since all of my overtime got cut out.
