Also, based on the stats, resident bowhunter numbers have increased 12% between 2011 and 2008 wheras total resident hunters have only increased 4.4%. Obviously a growing population which is important in maintaining overall numbers.

Lots of valid points...I was only saying you can't eliminate all the bird hunters....I suspect a very large percentage also big game hunt so I'm not sure how you figure more than 25%. By eliminating them all you only got to 25% and we know we can't do that.
