thanks for asking...I sure thought coffee was making the point that sense we already have a valid harvest survey we don't need to do anything else...also behind my question about variables among those surveyed. From what I've heard, read and seen I didn't think enough hunters were being surveyed to get an accurate result, especially considering all the variable with in a state like Al.


I didn't say that because I don't know if it is statistically valid or not....I didn't design the survey and haven't looked at the statistics.

What I am saying is the the survey is already a mechanism in place to get the same information they are trying to get with the check system. There is no need for a check system when a valid survey is sufficient. To do more is a waste of effort and resources if what they want is harvest data.
