RE: Dr Alt Meetings.......
Terry......"On the Kenai penninsula ( where I lived) each year a set number of Brown bear tags were set aside for excess bears. EVERY killed bear regardless of how it died..car,self protection,etc. was deducted from that number."......
I understand that. We should, and I believe do take all deer mortallity into the equation now (roadkill, crop damage, hunting, etc). We don't do it as accurately as it "should" be done IMO though. Our figures for the deer harvest alone is a WAG at best.
My remark was toward the concept you were eluding to of "near-real-time" reporting and adjusting of harvest numbers. In PA I think that would be an unrealistic goal. But do we need to addres the concept to begin with?.....sure.
