I'm still amazed at how many folks are ignoring GC.

I thought we would get 30-40% compliance the first year, and be running at least 50% by now. It's obviously not happening. I'm not sure what they can do to make it work.

Usually, when people won't comply with a government edict, the government tries some form of punishment. I would assume that will be the thing they try next, but it's just a guess.


What criteria did you use to make the statement "It's obviously not happening." ? The following are not my words, but sum it up pretty nicely I think. "“Obviously” is a purely destructive word. It’s commonly used when a new concept or idea is being built of pre-existing notions.


I'm not sure what your objective is with this question. Quoting some unnamed source who doesn't like the word "obviously" doesn't really interest me, and I don't wanna get into a debate about it.

I arrived at the conclusion that a large number of deer being killed in AL are going unreported by looking at the GC numbers found in this thread. They are not consistent with past results of the hunter survey done since the 60s. There isn't a soul alive who believes most of the deer are being reported.

Last time I checked, my soul still counts. I guess "my objective" is to try to see if there is anyone out there that thinks as I do. Doesn't really matter I guess if I am the only idot that thinks this way, but until DCNR can show some data that I can trust, I will remain the only skeptic in the state. That being said, my opinion is that you nor I know if it is being under-reported or being reported at a much higher rate than you and all the other souls believe. I could just agree with you so that we could both be wrong if you like. I only used my "source", because it probably more eloquently said what I was thinking than I could have. I really don't want to come across as argumentative and if I did, I apologize. I am a skeptic by nature and if the hunter survey was so great and accurate to begin with, then why do we now have game check.
