Also this. 0 mandatory reporting and I know lots of guys who won’t be honest on the surveys… worried it will take tags from their units ect…They are just a WAG anyway I wouldn't put too much faith in them
What computer models for reporting??? Some bimbo that is from a hired agency calling and asking me if i was successful??I'm all for it and it has been brought up in numerous meetings I've attended. CPW's response is always a no, its too hard, blah, blah, and the best excuse was our computer models are way more accurate then mandatory reporting would be. I about fell out of my chair when they said that, the rest of the room started laughing.
And what makes you think mandatory reporting would make everyone tell the truth?Exactly at least with mandatory reporting they could ask what unit, did you kill? etc. Right now all they have is the total number of OTC licenses sold. They have no idea how many hunted what units.
They estimate from their surveys. The question is what % of surveys do you need to be accurate. Let's say it is 10%,.do they get 10%? I doubt it and is why they should have mandatory reporting.Exactly at least with mandatory reporting they could ask what unit, did you kill? etc. Right now all they have is the total number of OTC licenses sold. They have no idea how many hunted what units.
your right but most guys lie now on the random emailed survey. I know tons of guys that always say they feel crowded even if they don't see another hunter, etc. At least with mandatory reporting everyone with a license has to report. How many people do you think they are reaching out to now? I'd be surprised if they are getting 30% of total tag holders.And what makes you think mandatory reporting would make everyone tell the truth?
Everyone won’t but I have to think most will and it would give them something which is better than nothing.And what makes you think mandatory reporting would make everyone tell the truth?
As Larry The Cable Guy would say, "Now dat's funny. I don't care who you are!"CPW's response is always a no, its too hard, blah, blah, and the best excuse was our computer models are way more accurate then mandatory reporting would be.
Not surprising. Between my kids and I we have gotten three in the last 4 years between all of our huntsI've been on approximately 10 limited hunts and about the same number of OTC hunts as a NR. Never been contacted for a survey.
Same with me. Get called almost every yearI seem to get a survey after every draw tag hunt I do. Got my last one in early January when the season ended 12/31.
I believe those should be out in a few weeks when they release the big game brochure. It will have tag quotas per season with the hunt codesDoes CPW post the new unit and season quotas for the upcoming seasons anywhere? I know how to read the Drawn Out data from previous, but obviously a change in quotas could effect ability to draw. Thanks for any info
Negative. The brochure will have any new hunt codes but the quotas for each code will not be set until May (for deer, elk and antelope).I believe those should be out in a few weeks when they release the big game brochure. It will have tag quotas per season with the hunt codes
Is that why our draw takes so long? They don’t have it until after the quotas are set?Negative. The brochure will have any new hunt codes but the quotas for each code will not be set until May (for deer, elk and antelope).
Exactly right. They have to wait for the post winter population surveys before they can set the upcoming years quotas.Is that why our draw takes so long? They don’t have it until after the quotas are set?
Thanks makes senseExactly right. They have to wait for the post winter population surveys before they can set the upcoming years quotas.
