As an example my personal expereince this year was that hunting conditions could have had a lot to do with it. I had two big chunks of time to get out and both were hindered by horrible conditions, last year most of it was blue skies and green meadows.

Some of this years trend was due some outfitters having a tough time booking hunters. The reduction in kills doesnt mean that their kill rates were way lower. I know one outfitter that only booked 1 tag out of 8. I also know an outfitter that harvest went 0 for 4 and 3 for sure that ran 3 for 4.
