If we are going down the "DOW SUCKS" road, let me throw this out as possibly my final thought on the matter:
I have called the local WO no less than 7 times in the last three weeks. I have emailed him two times, including pictures of a trespassing poacher. Net gain; one return email three weeks ago stating, "I will get back with you on this guy. I have been busy".
When I was a kid, I had a great deal of faith in the ODOW. When we called a WO, (Earl Wallace, Pickaway Co. and the Vinton Co. WO as well, though I can't recall his name), THEY SHOWED UP IN A HURRY!
I will continue to patiently wait.

The topic of Quanity vs Quality was was a topic discussed by Tonk at the banquet last weekend. Also new management areas that may be implemented was discussed. And possibly a program similar to the old mail in/drawing for antlerless permits. All this is supposedly based on herd size and harvest data.
After the discussion I asked what percentage of the 188,000+ deer killed does the ODNR add on for the "new cheaters" created by the TeleCheck system. He said in the neighborhood of ten percent. I sais I thought that was to low of a percentage. Tonk said they see the glass as 90% full, I told him I thought that number was unrealistic, but what do I know.

Next time he starts talking about "Herd size" ask him what data collection methods and mathematical formula they use to accurately estimate the live population of a given area.
Here is the answer you'll get..
Too bad I wasn't killing big buck deerz in 1980 when it was cool to put them in Ohio big bucks.
I need to enter one and attend once just to say I attended and simply to experience it. I am glad Dick went AND shared his experiences with us. I am not looking to go make friends or impress anyone. There is always someone out there who shot a bigger one. For that person, I am happy for them. Up to this point, I have not taken the time to enter one. I had two scored: 138 (128 net) and 141 gross (can't remember the net but thinking low 30s.) They didn't make it obviously. OBBB was always a goal. I have 2 I know make it, but never got them scored. Go figure.
I don't want to add to this dead horse beating, so I will restate what I already said. If there are 1000 deer and 10 are OBBB that is no different than 1/10 deer being OBBB or 100/10000 or 1000/100000. If there are less deer, there are less OBBB deer running around. It is that simple in my simple mind. I'm done (Take two).

Could do a front and back design or something. Maybe throw a stick figure t-Rex on the front and a tonka truck on the back.
Ohiosam

This fall I did get called by the ODNR for a survey on deer numbers because I'm a farmer. I bitched about how few deer I see. I asked if I was only complaining there weren't any deer and she said "no"
But I've given up debating the issue online.
