Outback, you fail to realize the thousands upon thousands upon thousands of hours AU, MSU, OM, UGA, etc... and other universities put into studies. Whether it's human or medical studies or biology or wildlife, it's all done with very much considered variables!!

I $%%^& hated my class in statistics but I'm here to tell you that studies are done with a VERY stringent awareness of... well, everything. To think that any university study is conducted without appropriate guidelines is ridiculous. I promise you that Dr. Stephen Ditchkoff or Dr. Karl Miller or any other university sponsored study had it ducks in a row and they if they assume something, the assumption is labeled an assumption.

In this case, what you don't know causes you to question but wildlife mgmt is WHAT THESE FOLKS DO and they're not dumb. It's what they do for a livin'!
