I am in a club and we limit ourselves based on a variety of factors, include personal observations. I would rather hunt in our club than in all the "free" WMAs put together. If we are seeing a lot of does, we tend to kill more of them. If we are not seeing as many does, we lay off of them. We have higher fees and fewer members so we don't have the pressure that a lot of clubs have. Regardless, I figure most clubs limit themselves to some degree, some more than others. Reporting our harvest will not change how we manage our land. We work to improve the habitat for the deer. While we are not perfect, we do kill our fair share of deer. I only killed one buck and one doe last year? Was that too many, too few, or just right, based on the harvest "Data"??? [/quote]

Ding, Ding, Ding. We have a winner here. You are using actual DATA to manage your club!!!!!!!!!! The state is simply trying to gather data for a whole state so they can better manage the whole state. What works in Shelby County is not going to work in Jackson County or Dallas County. Harvest data is the first step into trying to get DATA specific to all areas of the state. Again, one phone call per deer or turkey ain't gonna overwork us.
