There with out a doubt is more archery participation now that there was 12 years ago along with the increased reduced cost doe tags and liberal limits the harvest has increased substantially.
According the ODNR summary from last year 75% of all hunters that participate in the gun seasons also bowhunted at some level. I know that is increase over the years. It makes it hard to call hunters bowhunters or gun hunters because 75% of the hunters are both.
Maybe it is all of the old gun hunters that have recently taken up bowhunting that are wounding all of the deer during the bow seasons, damn gun hunters
