Oh I know it CNC, I just don’t want someone who’s looking solely “at the number” to start messing with our area. I started off by saying idk why the numbers are lower, but we did have some very bad weather the first several weeks. Matt said it best, one year doesn’t make a trend. Most people would kill to have the deer we have. .
Is it unreasonable to think that populations may change? Havent there been midwestern states show severe decline in a single season due to EHD? What was the point in implementing GC if we are just gonna dismiss the data it shows us?
Yes. We have two years of data from gc. One year being lower than the previous means absolutely nothing.
