Right there, for starters.

Your Graph Is Perty F'N Cool!

Only Lacks One Piece Of Information!

Number Of Deer!

Ask and ye shall receive.

This must be the data that makes Hossy do confident that game managers will increase opportunity when deer numbers go up and buck to die ratios exceed the plan…

The Graph is Not true In the Local Region Here!

The Winter Of 92-93 Was A BITTCH!

They Were Hunting Cow Elk So Hard They Had The Deer Pushed High Here Locally & We Got 3-1/2' Of Snow In One Night!

The Snow Crusted & I've Never Seen Coyotes Kill Deer Like They Did That year!

Surprisingly I Seen Some Decent Bucks In 94!

Their Deer Count Is A Guesstimation & Not Accurate!

And there we are.
If hunters don't believe the numbers and the RAC's and WB don't believe the numbers then why have the DWR make the effort to estimate population and recommend tag numbers?

Oh I know! Mandatory reporting will magically fix all the numbers. As long as one of the questions is how many deer did you see?

Cracks me up!

So?

Do you Believe Them Numbers?

Doesn't matter if I do or don't. Those are the numbers the deer and hunters are being managed by.
Apparently the WB doesn't.

You can go tabulate that data all you want. I couldn’t care less how many days someone else chooses to spend in the field on their hunts.

Nilly Is Suppose To Get Himself A Seat On The WB & Straighten Some Of This Stuff Out!

elkassassin · 2024-11-04T19:53:47-0700

So?

Somebody As SMART As You Are Don't Comprehend Hunting Pressure In The Equation?

Any chance you, or anyone else, has a deer population graph that goes back prior to the 90s? Preferably at least into the 70s. I’m pretty intrigued, especially to see the corresponding graph for elk population?
