Let's take these hunter survey numbers back a couple more years to when baiting first started......
The 2019-20 hunter survey....... 218,000
The 2018-19 hunter survey.......203,000
For those keeping score at home........We've gone from 203,000 since baiting started to 330,000 last season.......I'd say that's a little more than a 1-2% difference......I think that's a 64% increase.......Also the number of hunters has risen from 191,000 up to 230,000.....I wonder where those extra hunters are coming from?? Hmmmm.......
Where have the deer gone?? Right there ^^^^^ is where they've gone.
