The most accurate way to determine the deer population would be for the 60+% of so called hunters that are too lazy to send in a report card,to do so
Actually, the most effective and comprehensive way to get people to send in a report card is the way Idaho does it. You send in a hunting report card or make a phone call and report how many days you hunted and what your saw, wether you were successful or not, if you dont report, you dont get ahunting lic. next year, plain and simple.
