NDA Member Survey
In last week's survey we asked a few questions regarding the factors that impacted the number of deer you killed during the 2016/17 deer hunting season. For those who killed only one deer or less, the most common influencing factor was the decision to be more selective about what deer to shoot and passing others - being chosen by 48% of respondents.
