There is little doubt that Game Check is going to show a huge difference in harvest numbers when compared to the hunter survey - the numbers will go way down. Because the hunter survey is random, it doesn't take a lot of participation to be accurate; 1% is plenty. Since Game Check is not random, it wll need 100% participation to be accurate. You can read this forum and see they are not gonna get anywhere close to 100%. If only half the hunters participate, that will result in harvest numbers that are miles below the actual harvest. And the bad thing is there will be no way to accurately measure hunter participation.

I don't mind calling it in. Eventually, it will become accepted and most hunters will call in their kills. I just hope they understand the numbers will not be close to correct for a long time.
