Some of you may have seen the WMA Deer Hunt Result report that I maintain, which contains data from each WMA hunt from 2011 through 2018. I've been maintaining and sharing it with this GON forum for a couple of years and am curious to find out how many of you have actually used it? PM me or post publicly.

If you're not familiar with my report, here's a LINK to it. It opens in a web-based version of Excel and contains several views of the DNR's data; success rate, # of participants per hunt, average deer harvested per hunt, etc.

Feedback, comments, suggestions, etc are all welcome.

Regards,
Bubba.

I just recently discovered your report and I was pretty blown away by it. I had started doing a small version on my own to check the success rates on some of the WMAs I was interested in, but what you've got going puts mine to shame. This is going to be very useful to me, as a WMA hunter in the Atlanta area who has to make decisions on what public land to use my precious quota points on. I definitely appreciate what you're doing there. Great work.

The only feedback or suggestion I have would be that to include the size of the various areas into the calculation could also be useful. A calculation of hunters/acre might be helpful to get a sense of how crowded the various hunts are.

The information is great! I tried making my own, but I didn't have the time. Good job.

Average of 10-12% success rate across all WMA. I wonder what it is overall for deer hunters in Ga?

I've finalized the report for the 2017-2018 season. Allatoona's results were lost, but it now includes all other major hunts and a few of the smaller ones that had been missing.

Here's the link...

That's not the only WMA hunt that data was lost! There was one I attended in 2016, over a 100 deer killed. No data till the next year the hunt showed only 40.
