I do have faith in most hunters though and I feel that 90% do provide accurate reports.Because god forbid you take the 1 minute it takes to fill out the report.Alot of folks I personally know do not feel that wildlife is looking out for the hunters best interest, but rather the contrary. WDFW is there preserve and protect natural resources. Their goal is not to provide 100% success rates. People seem to think that WDFW is there so people can go out and be successful in hunting/fishing, that is not the point. Look at the WDFW mission: To preserve, protect and perpetuate fish, wildlife and ecosystems while providing sustainable fish and wildlife recreational and commercial opportunities.Essentially, science is first while providing a recreational and commercial opportunity is after that.The same goes for DNR. People think DNR is there to provide recreational access. That is false. DNR is there to bring the state money in terms of logging, it just so happens that recreation can take place on many of their owned lands. This is why DNR has much more landlocked lands then WDFW or the feds. For DNR it is logging/money first, and then providing a recreational access.

Sorry, but I second guess everything they do. I do not see improving big game numbers anywhere in the state where I have hunted, and this is after years of their game management strategies in full force. Continued issuing of doe and cow tags in areas where IMHO they should issue none.You yourself constantly suggest different game management strategies that you feel would benefit hunters and game populations. Are you second guessing them?I do not and will not place blind faith in them anymore. I am not alone.
I sure hope they dont base anything off those reports...I know alot of people who put 0 year after year..why in the hell would u tell fish and game if you harvested a bull year after year in the same unit..next thing u know your seasons are cut short etc
I report all my stuff when I get something.And no false locations..well except exact roads,but area wise always truthful.I dont believe holding info will do any good.
