Egg take goals will NOT be met for WB... even with redistribution of surplus eggs from Forks Creek.

This is the disconnect so many of the meat market terminal wipeout proponents fail to understand about hatch the hell out of 'em / catch the hell out of 'em mantra.

Eggs don't just rain down from heaven like free wealth. Moreover, conditions for returning adults in what are essentially little creeks trickling with bathwater are NOT conducive to high density escapements without significant pre-spawn mortality.

Then there's the pre-spawn mortality from the unscrupulous hen-hunters raping the unborn for bait.

What a mess!
