I like the new format, though, much easier to read.

Just noticed the mountain goat sex identification program seems to be working well.... Ouch!!!Yes. 12 nannies reported killed versus 5 the previous year.

The way the WDFW distributes this information seems designed to obscure the details so that you literally can't tell what is happening. It makes it impossible to take any action that has clear data behind it or know anything about why decisions are being made. I'm pretty shocked.

I wish they broke out east vs. west numbers, made it viewable by district across all types of hunts & methods, and indicated whether the harvest was at target or not. Heck, why don't they just publish the raw data so we can build our own pivots and see how things affect our areas we hunt without all the mystery.
What I want to see is private vs public.
Let's see how the state is doing in public areas that they actually manage.
A few dozen farm deer taken under depredation permits should not count toward hunter success.
The blacktail numbers are down in the public areas and they know it. I haven't talked to a single hunter who believes they are at normal levels. Everyone says the same thing which is that something is killing them and the state is clueless.

I agree, would be nice if they'd throw a link up where us nerds could go to work on it.
