Thats probably why the Okanagan is hurting so badly, shit kicked the winter range all over the valley.
Predation is crazy for one and quality shelter is spread out too thin.
Hot burns also cooked the soil good.

Mandatory harvest reporting, thats a for sure, but goat guy said that it would cost too much.
My comment was that we were already spending too much on our present questionnaire and that as much as it was consistent, it wasn't enough.
Too Random in so many ways.
How long have we been using the present H/Q?
The more I read this one the better it gets.
Mark Hurley Rocks.
Under the current system I said mandatory reporting would be too expensive. I also said it can be done under electronic licensing which we are currently transitioning to.
The harvest questionnaire and sampling design was built in the 1970s.
Reporting how many bucks are shot will not, however, increase the mule deer population.
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

So if we are still using the systems that were designed in the 70's and you have stated that Management for the past 40 years has screwed up so badly.
How can the present management practices be moving in the right directions without a better way to determine what gets taken and what is truly left standing in the spring?
Hurley did suggest a mandatory reporting of harvest, and the e licence will be a great step in the right direction.
I am not quite convinced that we should even look at other studies until we have a True benchmark.
If the white tails aren't doing as well as everyone thinks could we be going in the wrong direction with our thinking?
Question:
What was the total elk count for region 8-8 and 8-9 in 2001?
What was the elk count in 2004 for the same areas?
