SunDevil Report post Posted May 18, 2011 not that I believe these numbers are statistically accurate but I am wondering if anyone else is surprised by the 71% hunt success rate in 24B for the Dec hunt? sorry if this is your favorite unit, I am really not trying to draw attention to it.

nohoch Report post Posted May 18, 2011 Those numbers are crazy! No one should believe that. I heard all the bucks leave 24B after the opening hunt and there are none left in there come the december hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TAM Report post Posted May 18, 2011 I used to spend a lot of time in that unit and I think it's got more country than most people think. I don't think 30 bucks for 40 tags is all that unrealistic for a December hunt, but I think more than likley you are seeing one of the faults of AZ G&F's "non-manditory" reporting system. If only 4 people returned their survey cards and three said they killed deer then they say there was a 75% success for the unit even though they only got 10% response on the survey. Pretty much a joke if you ask me!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elkhunter Report post Posted May 19, 2011 no way for AZGFD to make accurate predictions on the hunt success so they have to make a rough estimation from the hunters who did submit the survey... I found out through my 4 years of college that people who were successful are more likely to submit the survey than those who werent, interesting stuff.
