No they didn't poll every hunter. random sampling is a long proven method of conducting a survey or poll. No they arent 100 % accurate but they are typically VERY close. Its done every day from TV ratings to product surveys to hunter surveys to political polls. The bigger concern with polls is in how the questions are asked. I've read the most recent PGC poll and personally think the questions are very fair they're not leading or intended to promote one response or the other. BTW, Polling every hunter would be a huge task. I do like the idea of a survey with each license app but that hasn't happened yet. Maybe it should.
