New York 2006 Deer Harvest Report - Archery Data By Zone
The following are the ARCHERY deer harvest numbers for the 2006 deer season.

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT THE ARCHERY TAKE
The State of New York DOES NOT differentiate seasons in which DMPs were used. Thus, the actual number of anterless deer taken in archery season is always going to be higher than the numbers that were released. Antlerless deer in the harvest report were put on the:
  1. Either Sex Tag OR
  2. Antlerless Tag
If an archery hunter used a DMP during archery season then that deer is counted in the DMP group. The DMP group is not split up by method of take. The season in which a DMP was used is not taken in to account when the State analyzes harvest data or sets their DMP quota.

The good news is they do have that data but we don't know if we can get it.

I can't believe it's suprising the buck take is going up. Look at our structure. We can assume that most hunters can take 2 bucks each. The deer management permits are not available easily and some not available at all in some areas. So it really shouldn't be unbelievable that because this state makes hunters shoot bucks and draw for DMP's that our take is the way it is. This is also why our buck doe ratio is out of whack, and most bucks are 1.5 yrs old.
Also, the numbers quoted here are estimated. Being close to the NYS Federation and conservation council (that's how I know the answer to the next statement), I bet most NY hunters have no idea how the deer take numbers are acquired.
Maybe you should do some detail on how the state goes to the butcher shops and takes down all of the tag #s. Does a check on the call in reporting and figures that if the deer at the shops are at 50% call in ratios that the nuber of call ins + 50% is the deer take of bucks does and fawns. Intersting? Also, nothing happens to the hunters that don't call in there deer.

Can you tell me how many bucks and does were taken on opening day in 2006?
