I'm trying to wrap my brain around statistics of game harvest. Example for whitetail hunters is that I've read that on average white tail hunters take a deer every other year. I don't think I'm an exceptional hunter but I kill at least 3 a year. Over teh last 3 seasons i wanna say i've killed over 10 deer total.
Then there is the statistic that 10% of elk hunters kill 90% of Elk. I know Elk tags are a little harder to get than deer tags and some guys draw an elk tag in their state and another state so they have the option of 2 elk a year. Then there are guys that haven't shot an elk in the last 10 years
Or is it a cumulative thing, like hunt for 3 years seeing/killing nothing, Then you kill your first, then nothing the next year, then you get one 2 seasons in a row. And that builds till you're success rate goes up to basically 75% ???
