I understand what you’re saying. My point applies to the NR and R. It’s my belief that the overwhelming majority are not going to pick Whitetail.
I’m all for giving it a try though. I just don’t have much confidence in that portion of the plan. Let’s do it. It can’t hurt
I highly doubt that is going to have much of an impact. The vast majority are going to 6 & 7 for muleys. I can’t see many people especially unguided NR picking Whitetail over Muleys.
Just my thoughts. But I was wrong once before
Really?
How is it any different than now? We apply for general tag that allows us to hunt general units and not LE units. Couldn’t they just make an entire region a LE for NR? Or break up the region into more units?
Seems like it is feasible without them having to completely reinvent the system.
Wait, you don’t speak for all of HT? Are you suggesting that you speak for yourself despite being part of HT?
Hmmm…..
There’s another guy on here speaking his opinion despite belonging to a group. Seems as though the standard is different for him though.
I hear you. But without good numbers and the fact that they don’t provide consistent data it gives a sense of dare I say, mismanagement. After listening to way too many hours of the CAC Zoom call it was evident that the numbers are not accurate and this method allows for too much modeling, aka...
With all due respect. That’s the same crappy methodology that has produced this mess. Anyway, I’ll shut up about it. I’ve voiced my thoughts more than enough about it but the states that are managing well don’t use crappy data. There’s zero reason FWP should either.
This is interesting considering that FWP said during the CAC meetings May 6-8 that NR accounted for 33% of the harvest in R6 and 45% in R7.
These were the numbers they read during the meeting.
It’s hard for me to trust any numbers that they spew out, they never seem to be consistent nor do...
That’s the number that the dart landed on.
Just kidding.
I’m sure it was determined by all of the data they collected from decades of research. FWP is famous for basing management decisions off solid data.
Or, Most likely, the MOGA told them that was the number to use.
This speaks to the issue. Makes everyone’s work on this seem futile. Forgive me if this has been posted. I’m trying to stay positive but at this point I’m not confident FWP has the fortitude to make any changes. Trying to keep quiet as I’m just a dirty NR but it’s painful watching this...
