Deer draw results are out

[rick_iles]

LOL, on August 1st, I checked my moose tag status but never glanced at the deer tag results. So I checked this morning and discovered that I was successful in getting a tag for Unit 10. This was surprising as there was only 275 tags available last year (22% success rate).

Congrats on your success. Sounds like 7b was a bust this year….

Thanks for posting that chart Sam. It's clear why they were reduced in 82A. But the numbers in 84 look steady in comparison. Wonder if they got reduced because the units run alongside each other.

Thanx Sam for the data:

It would be quite interesting to know what is behind those data-for deer hunters vs harvest.
The statistics does not specify if the ACTIVE hunter is each TAG sold,or a hunter who bought several tags -One hunter-Multiple tags-one active hunter.
.
The second unknown is-the number of additional tags available vs deer harvest.

As we know-the additional deer tag available vary greatly thru these years-the harvest numbers can / will be impacted by that.

As with WMU 80- the available additional tags were NOT cut meaningfully for years to follow the great winter die off in 2013-2014 AND there was not really great reduction in anything BUT the harvest numbers.

The doe harvest swiftly dropped from about 1600 AVG to about 1100 AVG.... the addition doe tags were not cut.
Finally addition doe tags were cut ONLY last year???

Do you also apply in one of the controlled hunts?

Yes, we have lucked out down here in 93a the last three years. Hopefully our luck holds this year. If not, I may go up in Nov. and look for horns. It’s more of a visit than a hunt. We have 1000 extra tags here for archery, so there’s still that to consider.

Our group of 9 got 7 doe tags this year compared to 2 last year

I received a response from the MNRF ...... Essentially 82A antlerless deer tags have dropped in half due to the low surveys .... and 80 has had one of the largest applicants applying for antlerless tags ever ...... These I do consider expectable reasons
Good luck and play safe

Our group of 10 in 49 only have 2 antlerless tags
I was a lucky one of the two but when I go in to print mine it says pending?

I think we can print off tags after Aug. 20th….
