Draw again!    Being vocal and going toe to toe with the wdfw.    I’m sure when my wild I’d pops up there is an algorithim that says redraw!

Such utter BS

Seen a gray/black no number helicopter pushing deer about 15 miles north of Davenport yesterday afternoon.

What is the problem? You don't think they should be counting deer?

In what ways are you going toe to toe with the department? I’d like to get more involved but don’t know what else to do besides fill out surveys, public comment and write emails. Let me know. I think there’s a ton of people who have had enough but don’t know what to do besides write emails and post on here.

Fly by, count ten, turn around, oh look there’s ten.  Let’s do another pass....look there is ten.   We are up to 30, that’s a good day.  Now let’s multiply that by factor........

No, nothing wrong with the article, the gal posting it or even the gal counting.   The impression they are trying to seed in everyone’s heads, we counted a 100, so everything is alright, hits a sore spot.

Only counting up to Mature 3x3? That's all that's left?

Normally I keep my mouth shut, but I appear to becoming more and more vocal.   I’m sure I’m on the radar.     I wish I had the answers, I wish I could fix their stupidity.   Kinda like watching the news and banging your head on the counter and hopping for Trump to pull through.

Ella says this population is generally doing well and holding steady.

Sounds like all is well, I'm glad they are on the case and ensuring a healthy population to sustain opportunities for hunting.

So they drove around and looked at deer all day.  Sounds rough.   

[Reidus]

"Ella says this population is generally doing well and holding steady. However, things like wildfires, reduced habitat, drought, harsh winters, and over harvest from poaching can influence the population"

Classic vague CYA statement...

But Doug, "They are everywhere".  It's on the internet, so it must be true.

Classic vague CYA statement...

IE:  too many people, global warming, habitat loss, global warming and those evil poachers

no mention of predators

Do you belong to a sportsmens club/Organization? If yes tell them you want to get involved. If NO, then join one. Not all organizations  engage the political processes as much as others. Many of these are Habitat based organizations that are well know the names to but dont engage the politics. SCI is probably the best national org on this matter. Most state/local Orgs engage and could use your help.
