The last time I put faith into the biologists in my area was when they put out the aerial survey. It was done in early January. I can't remember the numbers but the number of bulls to cows was really off. The survey showed nearly no bulls. This is the information they use to base our special license tags. Now I am not a biologist but I think I can tell you that the majority if not all the bull would have dropped their antlers by then. I was stunned by their numbers, my wmu went from 2-3 years for a bull moose draw to 10-11. This is not anywheres close to a trophy zone either. Sad really. I have beeen told that these aerial surveys are done every 5 years, so it looks like my zone will be 10-11 year priority till then. Frustrating.
As far as th supplemental does go they need to be reeled in for a few years.
