But it is self - serving? Yes, but we all benefit by ensuring that harvest is well documented, by whoever is doing the harvesting.



Are you talking about unreported CRCs? If so, I agree that there are a lot of folks who do not report as required. However, after years of performing further analysis on those unreported CRCs via phone calls WDFW determined a fairly accurate correction factor (and that the average harvest for those unreported CRCs is far lower than for those who were reported).

Exactly when/where did the State agree that this is a huge problem?
