@ The Hedgehog nailed it.
FWP has a working model right next door. Little bit of whiteout to change unit numbers they could damn near adopt it as their own.
Hmmm. Sounds pretty interesting. You are the first person I’ve ever ran across that does this type of thing. Sounds pretty interesting. I hadn’t considered the possibility of wildcat chamberings in the shotgun world.
I bet you get to tinker with some pretty neat shotguns.
Huh?
Chronographing shotguns??
Some people have way too much time on their hands. Not bashing. I don’t care if people chrono their ping pong serve, just hits me funny that there’s that many people chronographing shotguns. Why? Is there really such a pronounced difference between velocities to...
If you’re not going to be in there hunting in November keep the regular tag. Second tags are not allowed in that unit so don’t bother picking up a leftover tag.
Following!
It’s great you’re getting out early and learning the area. That’s gonna be big benefit. Just knowing the lay of the land and how to get around. Hard to judge bulls this time of year anyway and they will be changing their habits and hang outs between now and hunting season anyway...
Agreed. Randy hit the nail on the head talking about how we need to unite, R & NR, and quit bickering about draws and allocations as much and focus on putting more critters on the landscape.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s all intertwined and important issues.
I tend to get a little pissy when the...
You could be right on the data. I’m just going off numbers they spit out in the meeting.
Either way. It’s a problem, and you are absolutely correct that NR dispersion has to happen.
I just hope they can make it happen (or are willing to)
I completely agree that there too much concentrated NR pressure in certain regions but NR harvest isn’t exceeding R harvest. According to FWP, R7 had the highest NR harvest of 45%. 37% of NR hunt R7, thats 9,990 hunters. Reducing that by even half would be significant improvement.
I’m...
Good point.
What offers are you referring to?
I didn’t notice much in that regard but I was listening with a slightly different perspective. I was listening to see if there’s commonality in areas of concern. If there’s unified consensus then developing a solution is viable possibility. If...
Interesting that we have different take aways from it. I understood them to say they didn’t have complete data and that was the reasoning behind the discrepancies between their models and the numbers that came from the limited hunter numbers for example.
There were multiple times where it was...
My point was that during the meeting they said they have plenty of money and budget isn’t a deterrent yet they are not keen on spending money on these other things. (Surveys, etc)
It gives the appearance that there is not much importance placed on gaining better data.
