The hunter survey for 2013-14 estimated that we harvested around 270,000 deer if I'm reading that correctly. From the way its sounding most people are guessing that 10% of the total harvest is a little low and realistically I wouldn’t doubt it’s closer to what Matt is suggesting at 25%...that would be one lost for every 4 shot. If we stay somewhat conservative and go with 15% then that means that there are a little over 40,000 deer that go unrecovered.
