Not sure if anyone has noticed, but on the Wisconsin DNR website is the report issued by an independent group to review the SAK method of estimating deer.

When it was released, the DNR spun it that it basically confirmed that the SAK method was effective. In reading thru the conclusions, that is not exactly true. The method is subject to some SERIOUS deficiencies, especially at the local level.

I have a link to the full report on my website, along with some commentary I was asked to write, titled "Can the Wisconsin DNR Accurately Count Deer?".
