You guys are arguing Game Check numbers. How accurate are they?????
Plenty accurate enough to look at trends moving up and down over time…..The numbers in my area match up with what the hunters in the field are reporting that I've talked to……Although I think Game Check IS most likely underestimating the amount of change that’s occurring……In other words we’re looking at the legal harvest that was reported and the numbers from those folks is showing us that they have been killing more in some areas…..We can pretty much assume then that the folks not reporting are shooting more as well…..But it highly likely that they are shooting an even greater percentage MORE than the increase game check shows from the legal folks…..That’s why I say its accurate in showing us the up and down but may be a little shy of showing us just how extreme the change actually is……Long story short....its likely even a little worse in reality.
But what if folks are being more compliant and recording more and more in game check. So the uptick is more of a better compliance count than kill.
Whats the ratio of kills bucks to does. Is it 2 bucks per doe killed or at least more bucks than does killed. If so is that not skewing the buck to doe ratio.
