Tioga Flinter,
You need to sit in one of my classes and learn that percentages are "Is over Of." You may be correct about archers taking 14% of the TOTAL deer taken in PA, but "You missed the bus!"
You say in 2003 that archers took 65,100 deer. If there were 230,000 archers, let us calculate the ARCHER success rate by dividing the number of archers into the the number of archery killed deer. Are you with me still?
65,100 dead deer divided by 230,000 archers is: 28.304% archer success rate. Check it on your calculator and see how success rate is properly determined.
Archers have a higher success rate than muzzleloaders. Divide the number of hunters, archers or muzzleloaders, into the number of deer they kill. Forget the total kill since that is not the determining factor in finding the success rate for archery or ML deer killed. Yes, you can determine the % of total deer killed by archers or muzzleloaders, but that is not the individual groups' success rate.
Be well.
Adam
