Here's another thought. How many of those recorded does, are not really does? How many people are quartering up their deer in coolers at the camp and game checking bucks as does, so that they dont have to burn one of their 3 buck limit on a small buck? Gives them the required harvest ID number needed for the processor, when they drop that ice chest full of meat off at the processor, from their "doe". Once again Harold, way too many unaccounted for variables, and ways to game and cheat the system, to view anything about the game check kill numbers as being even remotely correct, let alone the gospel that you seem to feel they are.
Had a local tell me he’s never e-checked a buck as a buck, which I do not respect. I do wish numbers were reported accurately and those like CNC who put in analytical effort had reliable data.
