RE: What 3 suggestions would you make to PGC
IMO, whatever combination of reporting systems the PGC initiates in the future, POS "flaging" would be the way to go in dealing with non-compliers.
Out here in Montana, Fish Wildlife & Parks uses the check station system in each of our seven Regions. It appears to be successful as far as collecting initial data and early harvest percentages in each Region for elk and deer. Less that one month after collecting his info., they put out press releases to the public on their findings.
Every January, FWP also conducts telephone surveys . They randomlycall hunters "one on one" state-wide in each Region at the hunter's homes for a period of five to six weeks. The phone calls are made mid-week evenings and weekends when the hunters are most likely to be home.
BTW, the data gatherers also make the calls from their own residences.
