The number of deer killed and reported in Arkansas. How does TPW get their numbers? Even though Ark. is self reporting, its a number broke down by date, county and zone, and sex including nubbin bucks. I would like to see a little more science affect management decisions here. Am I missing something pertaining to data collection?

I don't know if I'm the minority in Texas, but I'm guessing there are a lot of hunters who don't use a processor so those counts based on processor surveys can't be very accurate

I was investigating a case of a disease in a huge companies building. I was telling him it was not an outbreak and was within normal numbers. I then asked him for his demographics.
He was floored when I told him how many people died the year before due to various diseases. I was +-1 person on each. He was floored and it made the point that numbers do not lie.
