Title: Harvest Reports
Post by: sagerat on May 01, 2009, 05:30:49 PM: So the fish and wildlife gave us an earlier app date which I think is awesome. The question I have is where are the harvest statistics from last year? Are they going to wait until after the deadline? I know it's a lot to ask, after all this state has a ton of moose, sheep and goat permits. What a joke.

Previously they would just get the harvest report up maybe a week or two before the deadline. Now, with the earlier deadline, I sure wouldn't expect to see it before you have to make your choices.

If there are any statistician types out there who are looking for work, apply for the opening.
