Success rate of bowhunters for 2010

Post by PhillyB » Sun Sep 12, 2010 10:37 pm

The general archery season is about over except for a few extended areas. I am just curious as to what the success rate is on this board for the archery hunt.

Any animal, it doesnt matter... elk, deer, antelope... whatever you had a tag for.
Any size... doesnt matter either, I am just curious as to how many of us fill our tags each year.

I know there are some who will not shoot a first year deer, no matter the circumstance. But if you dont mind reporting what tag you had, if you were able to fill it, and what you got, that would be cool. I am interested to see the success rates.

I will start...

General Utah Archery Buck tag. Tagged a little forkie on the last day I will be able to hunt

General Utah Archery Buck - I was able to tag a 25 1/2" 3x4 that I am more than happy with! Got him about 2 weeks ago.

General Utah Archery Buck - My little brother was unable to get one yet though a couple oppurtunities had been presented.....his first year hunting and buck fever got the best of him! So we'll try the extended for him.

I saw your buck... great looking deer. Congrats.

Tell your brother not to worry. I have taken a number of deer and missed a chance at a great buck on opening day because of buck fever. I think it hapens to the best of us.

I would be curious to know too. For 2009 General Archery Success was 17% and Muzzleloader was 29% and rifle was 30% just to put things in perspective.

33% in my party. I took the Labor Day Bull . The two other guys i hunted with in Oregon came up empty. They did have quite a few close calls though.

9 hunters in my party, with 2 tags filled - I took my first archey buck (3x4) and the other guy took a spike. Others missed shots.
