Absolutely!!......Fortunately random sampling equations don't require that every individual in a population be counted.



The problem is that Game Check is not random sampling. The Hunter Survey that was used for about 50 years was random sampling, and I thought it provided good enough info for setting seasons and limits. GC needs for everyone to participate for it to be accurate, and nobody has a clue as to what % of hunters actually use it.

Is it 30%, 50%, 70%? Nobody has a clue because there is no scientifically valid way to measure any illegal activity. We have gone from a system that worked to one that can never work. I would think the people in charge knew this would happen, so the real purpose of GC must be about enforcement, not measurements.

Then they tell you "This many were reported but this many were actually killed". If they know how many are actually killed, what is the point in reporting them. And how do they know how many were actually killed? I get so tired of lies. I get so tired of petty laws that dont make any sense. Wear this, walk here, shoot this gun and this ammo, hunt here but dont hunt there, you cant put this in the field, cant have this on the property, you can have this on the property though. Ive grown weary of even trying to keep up with it. Ill kill a turkey or two every year, as long as theres plenty around here and you know what? I think i will do it how i want to when i want to.
