Region 7 Cwd dataset to 2023. Should be a more current data with 2024 data included that someone should reach out and get. Ignore my chicken scratchings. Interested to hear people’s thoughts.

Not sure of this got posted anywhere else and don’t mean to muddy the water but definitely pertinent to the conversation. 40% buck harvest to keep a 5% prevalence. First time I...
This is harvest data meaning bucks harvested by hunters. It doesn’t make any sense to me when compared against other data sets from other units across the west. I was trying to find the average age of bucks taken in region g recently. I haven’t found it for the latest seasons but I fairly...
I agree. I been wracking my brain over this one since I saw the data. I should be able to post up an image of the day later today so you guys can look at it closer. The only other thing I can come up with is that all those young looking two and threes I see are 4.5 years old? I don’t shoot...
The gaslighting by the agency doesn’t get us anywhere either. You can’t continue to tell us rut hunting has little to no effect when we hunters can see those effects with our own eyes from experience other states with different management structures. The age data implies region 7 including...
I been working like hell for going on 5 years and I just can’t seem to cut into the backlog. As fast as I can complete one project my wife comes up with three more for me. I don’t see it ever slowing down.
Edit: I would add that it’s impossible for most of you to put the tool bag down. It’s...
Treecarp your a smart guy and I know your just trolling as to why I don’t waste my time responding to you anymore. Are you ever going to get over the butt hurt of states putting their residents first before nonresidents? Hunting is probably a minority activity that happens on these lands and...
Page 28 bottom line item - transfers small national park assets to the states to run; no mention of how the states would fund this as well as I bet these sites have significant deferred maintenance that would need to be addressed at some point
I would add the age data he referenced I can confirm is the voluntary Cwd data that has been being collected. You voluntarily bring your deer head in and they grab your adenoids and a tooth for lab aging. I will try to post a snapshot of the region 7 data when I can. FWP might make you do a...
Still working my way through the pod. Alright fessup fellas, which one of you guys asked Robbie if he thought a five week general season rut rifle hunt was ethical? 😂. I might have used the word sporting but I think it’s a valid question also I would encourage you guys to get on his podcast as...
