The problem as I see it is, information/assumptions taken from small statistical size surveys to create a number for a total populations (guess/assumption at most except where the sample/survey was taken and extrapolating to an overall population), then demanding, no, forcing detailed specific information from the hunters through threat of governmental punishment to provide information is just the normal "by golly, you are going to do it the governments way or else" attitude is what the problem is.

I have no problem the the study and gathering of information to make decisions needed for duties established by legislation for the ALDCNR. Like many others on here the issues are taken with the force of which government bodies are willing to use to get their way when there are other ways to do it that will provide the same information that are on voluntary basis. However, nothing is voluntary other than submitting to the governments force in the governments view!

EDUCATE, do not MANDATE!!

NightHunter, this is not a knock on the biologist, it is an indictment of the government system and government mindset.
