"That has been explained to you several times in the past. You are hanging onto statewide data where there was a major shift in the breeding and reproduce data sample sizes between the best and worst areas of the state. "

Sorry, I dont see that on the annual reports. What I do see is several years COMPARED TO EACH OTHER to show the declines. That is the data they use as "the science" behind the plan. If you are saying it is flawed, that may be worse (them basing extreme reduction etc. on the data) than the decline itself.

"That in turn made the statewide data inconclusive at best."

Hmmm. Several years of data....That we have been using to monitor our program "inconclusive" Sorry, but that kind of TOTAL INEPTITUDE is completely unacceptable!!!

The fact is, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the breeding and fawning rates (thats why the herd was so large in the first place!!!) and that is why it didnt improve. And you have ZERO data to show otherwise, only data that may show the situation Actually WORSENED if anything, but definately NO DATA showing improvements as promised.[:'(]

Sportsmen have been VERY patient all these years to see the promised results... Breeding increases and timing improvement [8D], more and bigger bucks.... All a crock of crap!! Time for change. Pgc and their audubon allies who pushed this crap in the first place can kiss off!

No changes= No money. That but in greater detailis in every message I send to our fine legislators. They seem to be listening to the many.
