It would be a good way for fwp to acknowledge where and how many people are hunting a unit or region. -

I thought it was interesting when fwp official said most of the stuff will get passed right by if the committee isn’t more specific. I didn’t get to watch much though Tuesday after the holiday wasn’t conducive for watching a zoom meeting. -
