I know, but I would expect a group size to vary in a way that’s fairly close to normal. At least no reason to expect a left/right skew.
The reality is, you’re picking the tiniest of nits here. If the response variable is group size, I think the method I described would get you to an answer. Can...
You would need to shoot ~10-20 five-shot groups with each load, then use a two-sample T-test (or ANOVA if you test more than two loads).
The observations to test for each load would be the group sizes.
For example:
Load 1:
.75”
.82”
.33”
Etc
Load 2:
1.4”
.66”
.91”
Etc
Have you ever watched a cat catch a mouse and repeatedly let it go again just for fun? Buzz is a bored winter cat and some mice are dumber than others.
That’s the only good idea/reason I’ve heard for splitting them. Make doe fawn whitetail tags basically free (which could be done with the current framework with type 7 or 8 tags).
I don’t understand how making mule deer only general tags helps mule deer.
There are either ulterior motives in...
I feel like you’d have explaining to do if you applied for NR moose and R deer, elk, etc in the same year.
Doesn’t really answer your question, but IMO hunting privileges are too important to be playing FAFO games.
*edited to add, I assume false oath is false oath, regardless of which...
Being able to come home and hunt on private family land is one thing. I have no idea why they think it should be free. I’d happily pay something less than the current full NR price, but more than resident price.
Thanks. That’s all I saw, but thought maybe there was info elsewhere. I wouldn’t advocate for that bill, but I’d be dumb to not benefit from it if it passes.
To be fair, I don’t care if other locals get an elk either.
The quality of type 6 and 7 tags is highly variable by unit. Many are great hunts that don’t have challenging access or depend on weather. Some definitely are challenging for those reasons. Sorry you struck out.
