[QUOTE="KDM, post: 30122, member: 314"] The G&F does do a good job on most things and I commend them for it. However, I have to respectfully disagree with you on their deer herd management. Especially the whitetail herd. They have not performed any surveillance work, aerial or otherwise, to collect hard data on whitetail numbers anywhere in ND in many years. This past year included. I have the reports and emails to prove it. I don't care if they shut down deer hunting completely, just show me WHY!!!!!!!!!! Right now they are using surveys, accidents, and other anecdotal information. They really have NO IDEA how many deer there are in any hunting unit. I've made several posts regarding this fact. It's pretty hard for me to swallow statements like "The deer numbers are down." or "The deer numbers are above management goals." when the G&F haven't even bothered to survey their populations in a decade or more. ;:;rant Over.
