I think you gotta look at the pattern that’s occurring in the data and ask….”Why is it occurring in these particular counties but not others?”…..Its not just random or occurring the same across all counties….What’s the difference??……Your answer really needs to fit the pattern…..You cant just say that people arent reporting does now because that doesn’t fit….If that were the case it would be happening evenly across all counties…..Why is it happening in northern counties but not so much in the southern portion of the state? I’m saying it’s the hunter density, habitat fragmentation, and property sizes that’s causing baiting to impact some over others…..That fits the pattern
