One way to manage bowhunting wounding rates is to shorten the season and make it aonitndoesnt fall during the rut.Both are good points. Just some cursory study of wounding loss should be enough to make hunters think more about what shots they do take. One study out of the Madison Valley on archery elk estimated 50% of animals hit were not recovered. One conversation I had with a biologist several years ago told me he basically doubled the hunting harvest as actual to accommodate for hunting loss. Then he said double that again for poaching.
