[QUOTE="Andy S., post: 5322040, member: 131"] IMO, they are looking at [B][U]statewide harvest[/U][/B] "trend data" over last 20 years, which supports a stable "statewide" population, with that ONE metric. We as hunters want a more localized management tool for our county/regions that we live in, hunt in and have experienced these collapses in. I am all for data, graphs and charts, but without recent boots on the ground knowledge for localized areas, I just cannot accept some of the material being presented based purely on "harvest data" [U]alone[/U]. I know we have more hunters and more efficient hunters today than ever before due to all the advancements in technology that requires minimal "hunting" per se. I am excited to see what, if any, useful information will come out of the studies that Roger Shields and team is currently pursuing. At the end of the day, the Agency, hunters, outdoorsmen, and conservationists should support and promote long term sustainability of the resource over anything else. [/QUOTE]
