Yes and no. I trust that the numbers we are looking at are 100% accurate based on those who reported their harvest. I also think that even if GC compliance is only 30%, those percentages of folks who killed 1-5 birds wouldn’t change very much even if compliance was 100%.

Preliminary results form the Auburn study show that a later season opening and a reduced limit would allow more hens to be bred. I’m not smart enough to know if that’s true or not but I’ll read the study when they release it.
