Atlas,
I don't know what you do for a living but I know that you know all states don't do the same thing because they want to be different or they have their own agenda.
I have no doubt that you can interpret studies, but, have you read any of the ones I've mentioned?
I've followed these guys for years and tend to believe what they are saying.
greg,
I certainly didn't mean to imply these guys don't know what they are talkingabout...........I agree with a lot of what they say andyes I read these publications. I just don't believe everything I read just because it is written. I take thatinfo and combine it with what I see in thefield and make my own opinions. I agree with almost NOTHING the NYSDEC spews out every year and I know tons of guys that just soak it inand accept it as fact no matter how much their eyes tell them differently.
I traveled to a couple different states thisyear and my eyes were really opened.....combine that with what I have seen a couple different groups in NY do and I justfind a lot of fault with some of the logic being pushed as fact.
Ithink these guys are all VERYsmart.................I also thinkwe haveyet to find a state run hunting program that has hunters as it's #1 priority. Too many other factors in this game for me to be that naive.
