Table 2. Percentage of hunters harvesting antlerless deer in permit areas a where early antlerless-only seasons were first implemented in 2007, Minnesota. Both groups of
hunters were first identified in the 2007 deer harvest data, then the same hunters were identified in the 2005 and 2006 deer harvest databases. Values reflect percentages
of individuals harvesting 0, 1, 2, >2 antlerless deer each year.
