Never know. It could be pretty close to accurate. I'm sure that there were more than that just because based on feedback on here, not everyone is participating. If there were 3,000 reported, maybe there really were 5000-7000 killed in that 3 day period but that's still not very many considering the number of people that probably hunted over the holiday weekend. At least in the south central part of the state, there was not a wholesale slaughter for sure. I hunted Camden from Friday until Sunday and heard a grand total of 3 rifle shots. Would normally hear 25-30. Ran by Venison creations Saturday night after I came out, to talk to someone and not much at all being brought in while I was there. Iron Bowl, heavy fog in the mornings, relatively warm temps and a full moon probably had a lot to do with the low numbers.
