Hi,
I am a computer cartographer, but also a dedicated hunter, and have been working on creating detailed maps that can be used to forecast which areas will hold large wildlife populations. My first map - forecasting Gambels quail in Arizona, worked out pretty well and is based on sound scientific studies - but I am looking to make more maps for other states as well. The size of quail populations in Arizona are directly correlated to the precipitation levels during the winter months preceding the hunting season. I would like to make maps for other states (and species) as well. The reason I am posting this request is if anyone knows of correlations between rainfall and wildlife populations. If you know of a known relationship - please let me know! If you let me know of som sort of relatiosnip I will make the map and email it to you for free. The rain data I have available is detailed down to one square mile - so if strong relationships/correlations exists one can predict population sizes locally.

In advance, thanks a lot!
