I Just saw this study today when I was on the WDFW site. I dont remember it there before but might have missed it. I did a search and didnt find this posted on here (found a similar one but not as much info). As usual an interesting read and that the state sucks (My opinion). If it was already posted and I missed it feel free to delete or combine.

Lots of graphs that boost the page count... About as expected, actually maybe slightly higher marks for WDFW than I'd have expected, but still pretty poor overall.

Your license dollars at work (?)  What was the budget for this?

Did anyone on here participate in the survey back in June and July?

I participated in this survey. I believe it was mentioned on here, but it didn't seem like many members were selected for the survey iirc.

Some of it seemed pretty straight forward.
Some I wondered why they were asking that? This one for example:
"Deer hunters were asked to rate the importance of five factors regarding the harvest management of deer:
Sustainable harvest of deer
Having nutritious forage and avoiding habitat degradation
Deer population trends
Hunter satisfaction
Conflict management"

I guess it all depends on what they do with the data. Seems like a very detailed survey and breakdown considering there was not a very large sample size.  :dunno:

.6% of the 2.7% of Washingtonians that hunt. I believe the standard for surveys is to get .5% of the group being surveyed.

Better than the local news who surveys 500 people and claim to know what the people want. Or the national news surveying 1000 people and claiming to know what 300 million Americans want.

Also the media has a tendency to survey those in the urban areas. You will find a higher percentage of those that hunt and fish live in rural areas because they want to live closer to the true outdoors. That's my opinion.
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.
