Sorry Phade, I say it the way I see it. I already said I dont trust the numbers. For what its worth, in todays paper, the same one you and I get, there was an article stating license sale are down. When taxidermists and butchers across the state say theres a drastic drop in numbers, its not MY opinion anymore. And thats not even touching on hours afield. Most guys I know didnt put in a fraction of the hours afield they used to. Numbers are one thing but usage numbers are also a barometer as well.

Your numbers about the deer take is another example of what they said theyd do...lower the number of deer.
