[QUOTE="Yoby, post: 227354, member: 631"] I think there should be an option of - More data needed before changes are needed. Say a recent deer count. Every year I hear stories of the G&F doing surveys, but then every year when I am the normal locations for hunting the numbers have been increasing quite steadily, but no changes to the # of tags. Where I used to rifle hunt (would still if I had a tag in the last 6 years) before the population drops, it wasn't uncommon to see 60ish deer a day. 2011/2012 rolls around and the number dropped to 10 or less. Last year sitting with my wife and father-in-law saw close to 40 in the first day (didn't go out the 2nd day as they were tagged out). Same with where I was bow hunting. Population dropped, but then saw lots of does with twins and triples that survive year after year. My little 20 acre parcel at 1 point had 22 doe/fawns. Probably went a little over board, and I know populations change wildly with location. Doesn't change the fact that I hadn't seen an actual survey performed in quite some time. And now my opinion doesn't matter as I moved to SD. [/QUOTE]
