[QUOTE="KDM, post: 342979, member: 314"] Nice idea, but you're assuming everyone will tell the truth. Everyone has an agenda. Trophy hunters want age so they prefer to say LOTS, ie TO MANY of deer were taken, lower the numbers to increase the population. Meaning more deer will get older. Meat hunters want LOTS of deer to maximize opportunity to fill the freezer, so they will want to say NOT ENOUGH deer were taken so they should increase the number of tags. Surveys are HORRIBLE for accuracy. I've said this many times. Surveys are SUBJECTIVE data where as actual counts are OBJECTIVE data. I'd rather they use the money they spend on surveys to fly more transects and get actual counts. However, what do I know about it. Carry On!! [/QUOTE]
