There is no lack of hunter presence here. We've had as many if not more than most years. Last few years guys have been coming here from lots of other "worse" areas thinking this is the place to be. Even with the huge influx of hunters from far and wide the buck harvest in the unit has continued to plummet in recent years.
Frank, that internet reporting isnt gonna do a damn thing imho. A small percentage of reports will most likely be all thats done that way. Lots of guys without pcs and Id venture a guess many dont even know its available. Pgc is still gonna impart a bogus noncompliance percentage similar to the 60% or so theyve added the last couple , which interestingly according to them noncompliance is growing. Not sure if that is due to all the distrust and hunter disgust and them not wanting to bother giving data to cut their own throats or if its just pullled out of pgcs own arses and they need to keep "upping" that percentage to cushion the blow of the decreasing harvests and severe reduction at least a little. We have had modern day low harvests on buck recently. Could you imagine how much even lower theyd have been if "modifications" werent continuously made to the extremely low numbers?
