Do they use an airborn infrared scan or what?
If so,was wondering how they sort out the hogs, coyotes and armadillos from the deer.

Bet my guess is better than yours!stumpman said:One great big educated guess there is no real way to know how many deer there are in the entire state.
Recognizing that hunting season has been open for several months, the current population is probably between 610,000-630,000. However, by June it will be back up around 1.1-1.2 million.stumpman said:I say 1.5 million deer in GA whats your guess? remember i dont live or hunt in GA i just like talkin to you bunch a huntin nuts. Neither one will be right because no one knows for sure how many there are for sure .
Cal, that's at least a nickel's worth. Thanks. However, if doing so makes someone feel better, then it might accomplish something?CAL said:I really feel our Biologist are doing the best they can especially with what they have to work with.Sometimes we are quick to criticize when we don't have a clue of a better way,me included! My intentions are to reframe from this kind of posting and commenting as it accomplishes nothing!
My .02 cent worth.
Legal challenges that an agency will lose when they have sound scientifc basis and defendable data for defending management practices, including hunting. Evidence of this goes back several years and even this year across this Nation. We are also required by law to gather and report this data to the General Assembly.stumpman said:What does it matter how many there are there is no need for these surveys ...
You won't get to hunt much at all. Kind of ironic that hunting is sort of what drives the desire to do this and then when you do, you don't get to hunt much at all!stumpman said:ill work cheap if i get to hunt all the hot spots.
