Did anyone else receive this survey ? Is this group pro hunting? How is it related to WDFW?
Some of the email:
The Social & Economic Sciences Research Center (SESRC) at WSU is implementing this survey on behalf of WSU’s College of Veterinary Medicine. If you have any questions about the survey, please contact the SESRC Wildlife Survey Project Team at SESRC.Wildlife@wsu.edu, or call 1-800-833-0867 and indicate you are calling about the Wildlife Management Survey.

They will use that survey to draw conclusions to meet their agenda, what ever it be, otherwise it would have been straight forward questions instead of beat around the bush questions that are open to interpretation. I took it and tried to answer safely and honestly but there were too many sneaky questions that offered no reasonable answer.......I smell a rat.:yeah: it took me a while to complete the survey safely.

It's hard to tell what they are looking to get out of it, my guess would be insight on the best ways to get information on their research out and the societal importance of finding a solution to hoof rot. Guessing further, it sounds like they may be questioning whether giving the research results to WDFW and hoping they do the right and effective thing may not be working too well, but that's a big guess on my part.

Like I said in the Campfire section on this topic, let them have it in the comment section on your thoughts with wolves!
I filled it out yesterday as well. In the comments at the end I didn’t limit it to wolves, I stated how they have mismanaged predators as a whole.
I marked every question regarding trust of WDFW a no, I do NOT trust them. Don’t recall the exact wording for the answers.
It did seems as they were fishing in one part of it to use predators to eliminate the hoof rot issue.

I received it and took it as well. Lots of questions about information and trust and I think we can all guess how I ranked the department. I don't like how it forced you to input something for race and income, most surveys allow you to opt out of that. So, I put "American" in for my race.

No kidding! What does Party affiliation, gender, race and income have to do with hoof rot?

When there is a questionnaire sent to the public, there are questions added for different purposes. I could imagine a PhD dissertation in cultural anthropology as well as other fields. The data will be mined by students for years to come.

This is an unfortunate response by all, but not surprising. The department COULD be trying to make an honest effort by using a 3rd party to gather information. Unfortunately the distrust runs so deep there is no possibility for them to gain scientific data/insight to guide them. My only concern is that a good Director and a reasonable Commission might not be able to make any head way because past department directors have squandered ANY goodwill sportsmen may have had.
I'd like to think this is true, but years and years of the opposite say it's not.
On my survey I pretty much told them what many others here have said- "you're going to find what you want to find & what you're being paid to find.
