[QUOTE="Andy S., post: 5076912, member: 131"] Agreed. But from Roger's perspective, he currently has no "hard data" to go on to make a scientific recommendation to the Commission, so we cannot expect someone such as himself to make a wholesale recommendation based on a few unsatisfied hunters in Region 1, when he has just as many fat and happy hunters in Region 2. He acknowledged the variation in geography and landscape across the State and eluded to the fact that managing the resource at the Region level may very well be needed in out years. Again, he is strictly a public servant with limited staff, resources and funding, so he can only make recommendations based on the science and facts at his fingertips, which he is still compiling, albeit slower than many of us would prefer. We cannot blame him for years of perceived mismanagement before he came onboard. [/QUOTE]
