I was reading the NWTF book and it listed bird population vs harvest for states. For TN, it shows population 250k and harvest 50k, so about 20%. I looked at all the surrounding states and the harvest % is a lot less. Any reason for this? More hunters?
State population harvest
SC. 100K. 14,500
NC. 270K. 20K
MO. 390K. 35K
MI. 250K-275K 22,500
KY. 250K-400K 30K
IN. 125k. 12,500
IA. 120k. 11,500
AL. 365K. 25K
AR. 100K. 7,500
GA didn't give population but harvest is 17,500
FL didn't give population but harvest is 15,000
Sorry if this has been discussed previously.
