RE: State Harvest Reports
I realize the elk and bear kills are not as heavy as the deer kills.
What I am saying is....If the PGC feels that the mail in card system is good enough to get a pretty accurate count on deer kills, then why do they not trust this same method, to get a count on bear kills?
Do they feel that the mail in method of counting the bear kill would not be as accurate? They know the check station method is much better for getting an accurate count.
Yet some on here seem to feel that the mail in method is just as accurate as a check station method. Then why doesn't the PGC have mail in cards for bear?
Since this is the computer age, the most accurate method would be for hunters to register their previous year's kill when he buys his new license. If license years ran from January to January this computer method would work much better.
This would be similar to how they do it with migratory birds. You fill out a survey when you buy your stamp.
