Rocky, I believe they list the total number of tags sold as " the number of hunters". Take a guy that hunts deer, small game and elk and that would be three hunters the way they figure it.
Michigan offen lists a number as the amount of hunters in the state takeing a deer for the season, then breaks it down by X amount of rifle kills, Y amount of bow hunters and so on. The numbers I`ve found for last year lists 1,706,367 licences sold, (hunters) 755,966 of which were deer tags of some type. (We have rifle, bow and BP tags) How many of the deer tags were sold to the same person is anyones guess.
