Any timber guys on here? Why do you bother to cruise timber? To get DATA. To know how much inventory you have to cut.

Any gas station owners on here? Why do you stick your tanks? To get DATA to know when to order inventory.

Any store managers on here? How do you know when to order supplies to restock? How much do you order and when? It is based on some type of inventory DATA.

Any farmers on here? How many acres do you have planted or how many bales of hay do you have on hand? You look at your DATA.

I could fill up the page with these examples. But, my point is that Game Check is just a way for the State to get DATA to use in their job decisions. I have never bought a stock without looking at the historical performance (DATA) before buying it but yet our DCNR is trying to make educated decisions on less than quality databases. All they want is a way to get good data to make future decisions. And, it is going to take a few years to get enough data to make educated guesses with.

If all we have to do is dial a stupid phone number or go to a website to help some people do their jobs, then I'm willing to make that effort. Period, If that is too hard for you to figure out, then just wait until the proverbial tank runs dry and then just reorder more (gas, deer, or turkeys, etc.) once it goes empty.
