How about that 60-plus percent rate on an Alaskan deer tag, last time I looked? And you guys get what, 6 buck tags? So that 60-plus percent success rate includes lots of tags that never even get hunted.

Some tough-ass hunting you are doing up there... laffin'...

"This year�s survey results are notable in that even though the reported region-wide hunting effort was
the 2nd lowest in 20 years, the average number of days required to harvest a deer was equivalent to the lowest on
record. Consequently, the overall harvest of deer was not substantially lower than the long-term average. Total
deer harvest for the 2003 season is estimated to be 11,180, an increase of about 2,606 (30%) from the previous
season but 1,181 (9%) less than the average for the previous 20 years. Hunter numbers of 7,028 were 2% higher
than last year but 12% lower than the long-term average of 7,994. The hunter success rate was 66%, three percent
higher than the long-term average. The average hunter spent 4.6 days hunting this year; 1.3 days less than the
long-term average of 5.9 days. On average, hunters harvested a deer every 2.9 days afield, a rate equivalent to the
highest on record..."



Following that logic it would be best to get tips on picking up chicks from a guy that only scores once every 10 years, vice a guy in a target rich environment.

What a [bleep] tool you are.
