105 - Trapping Harvest and Historical Data
In this week\u2019s episode I dig into some trapper survey data and find some historical data of trapper harvest from several different states, some dating back to the 1930s.\xa0 It is very interesting data and highlights how important it is for trappers to accurately respond to those surveys.\xa0 Our game agencies rely on us for good data, and if we don\u2019t provide it to them then they don\u2019t have good data to manage the resource with.\xa0\xa0
