I think it's a great idea but I also find it a bit funny how the voluntary survey has received no criticism in the past decades and how until now hunters were comfortable with it being our only source of harvest data. Why weren't you outraged about it being used two years ago to put moose and elk on draw for archers? Perhaps it did eaffect your backyard? Sorry but criticizing something just as a matter of convenience doesn't necessarily give your arguement creedence.

Could we do surveys better? Absolutely. Are the ones we are currently using so flawed that they are useless, I don't buy it.
