Let's try to move past the survey issue if we can. Organizations and groups try to get input in whatever form possible and that input is always subject to questioning and second guessing. No one, probably not even the DNR has an absolute ability to get a perfect, all encompassing survey. So, everything is always left to a bit of interpretation. I've seen this before. The IDHA's surveys were no good, the IBA surveys were biased, other website surveys were biased some governmental agency surveys were biased. Certainly we all recognize the limitations of such things, so is it possible to try to find one or two issues that almost everyone, because it will never be everyone, can agree on and work towards accomplishing something. Picking apart everything is just what is wrong with hunters, its detrimental to the resources and to the heritage itself.

So, if all the groups were to identify a couple of issues like a wish to have less pressure on the deer herd or getting something accomplished to enable the DNR to fill their vacancies or retain the control over the deer management plan that we all know is being effected more and more every day by the legislature and non hunting special interests.
