CRH Ep. 24 Going Over 2024 Archery Deer Quota Stats and a Little Catching Up.

April 10, 2025 • CJ Dunn

In this episode I breakdown some numbers and stats of the archery deer quota from 2024. What units closed when, how many deer were killed by archers in 2024, how that compares to 2023, and what do these numbers tell us? At the end I did a little catching up and told some stories about a couple of crazy coincidences between big game hunting and meteorite hunting and a bit on drought and antler growth. I also made another pitch for traditional archery seasons. I thought I had uploaded a podcast in February, but I guess I didn't. I recorded this a few weeks ago, but the audio was not up to par. So, here is my second attempt. I will follow up soon with another podcast about my experience at the Compton Traditional Bowhunters Big Game Classic I attended in Golden Colorado in March. As always I hope you get some useful info out of this one.
