W Wildman Guest Dec 3, 2009 #1 Does the DWR collect statistics on the number of deer harvested during the bow hunt?

It looks like general season archers had a 19% success rate, and DH archers 5%. http://wildlife.utah.gov/hunting/biggame/pdf/annual_reports/08_bg_report.pdf The DWR collects this data every year from archery, muzz, and rifle deer hunters.
