I've heard through the grapevine that SFW members aided in the classification of deer on the cache unit last November. Can anyone confirm or deny that this was allowed to happen. After looking at the rac pac I couldn't help but wonder how accurate and truthful the current buck to doe ratios on the cache are.The current buck to die ratios noted in the most recent rac pac I feel are way below where I feel it is ,thus the biologist is recommending 500 less permits for 2014. I can't help but question how honest the buck to doe numbers reported back where especially from someone that ultimately wants to see less permits issued. My worst fear if that a bunch of SFW members offered to help in the classification process and ultimately handed in UNHONEST buck to doe ratios to purposely lower permits issued even though the buck to doe ratios are in reality higher than the reported,especially coming from a group that has never seen a tag cut they didn't like.If this plays out to be true I am not going to just stand back and let this kind of b.s. happen.
I have tried to contact the biologist to confirm or deny this situation. I have left him three messages with no return. He has always got back with me when I have contacted him in the past and I feel he has always been a straight shooter.thus the reason for the post.
