It looks like you have never talked with anyone from the DEC; I don’t mean talk at them.
You would know only about 45% of us report are harvest. So they use statistical modeling that includes the 45% harvest reporting, going to deer processor‘s and deer check station to come up with a harvest number. You can get accurate numbers though modeling as well as six sigma accuracy. They would tell you they are at 3to5% accuracy.
So if you or I don’t have any numbers that we can prove are right or prove there’s are wrong. then we have no proof now do we. Remember IN GOD WE TRUST ALL OTHER BRING DATA.
