— whether you hunt deer, turkey — area in the state (has 5 areas) — whether you support/oppose mandatory check-in — how you would want a check system (phone, computer, physical check station, etc.)
And then the survey crashed while I was filling it in.
Apparently the rumors of big changes on the way are true, or some of them.
Since you DCNR and CAB guys covertly monitor this site, here's a suggestion not just from me but by many: Publicly explain with good reasoning how this information will be used for the biological benefit of deer and turkeys, and how it won't be used to create trophy bucks for the QDM crowd. Because that's a huge perception by a lot of Joe Average hunters.
Thanks for at least asking for public input about it with the survey, too, unlike the comical screw-up from a couple of years ago.
I agree that this information should be made public and no better place to do it than right here on Aldeer where the biggest number of hunters in the state gather for discussion. and no offense Clem but calling it a comical screw up last time probably is not going to bring the covert operatives into the lime light .
