Just recieved the elk survey reports and other data including satisfaction index among elk hunters. Some interesting numbers.Premium hunt units have satisfaction in the 90% range. Some units are in the 50% range most are in the 70% to 80%satisfaction range.
One interesting thing I noticed is that even though Archery hunters have lower success percentage the average age of bulls they kill are nearly 1 year older than rifle hunters and 2 years older than muzzleloader hunters.
