If they did then there's no way in Hades they could ever speak publicly again with any shred of integrity about needing several years of data before considering and recommending changes based on "harvest records." Because that's been the mantra all along about deer zones, doe days, North and South Zones, etc., with GC and such.
Remember, it's supposedly all about the data. Gotta have the data over 3-5 years' time to get a good look at anything before considering or making changes.
If any change(s) were recommended then it better have support of many years' worth of data, and then you're getting into that horribly unreliable and worthless post-season hunter survey method that's been cast into the dust bin of history.
Can't have it both ways. Either the survey was/is good to go by, or they'll need to wait 3-4 more years to collect more GC data.
Data!
