Let\'s get this census sign up started!
We will need to have everyone signup and get a number that you will use for your site identification. So, can you please sign up on this thread and list the following:
For Missouri only...sorry!
Your name and county that you will be conducting the survey.
The number of acres that will be surveyed and what kind of cameras that you will use. (Please keep your acreage to within 100 acres per camera)
The survey will be held for 10 days in August of 2006. I would like for you to be able to pre-bait these sites, before the survey. The dates will be determined later...I am thinking some along the lines of early to mid August due to September bow season opener.
The sites will have to be baited frequently if consumption of bait prevents survey pics to be taken...Replinishing the site once or twice during the survey should not skew the numbers.
Baiting in Missouri is Illegal during the season...so...if you think that there will be a problem or if you just want to let your Missouri Conservation Department official for your area know what is going on...feel free to contact them at your convienence. I would encourage this...can't hurt to let them know that you are doing something that might encourage more data retrieval from our MDC.
I have successfully secured the basic version of Buckspy for each survey participant that fully cooperates in this first ever statewide endeavor. You will only receive the software if you fully cooperate with the rules and regulations...not to be a hard a$$ but, I need good info without a bunch garbage to confuse this effort.
I am also trying to secure the baiting feed for this survey. Lonnie Hansen will be contacted after enough interest has been cataloged and he will be issued an overall outline of how the survey be conducted.
The guidelines will follow shortly...they are basically the same ones from the post on census update, (http://missouriwhitetails.com/forums/viewthread.php?tid=25078), from the Mississippi web site. Please visit that thread and view the concept before engaging in this effort.
Picture evaluation will be important and how we do this can set the stage for future data collection in Missouri...so, please treat this like you would your taxes...keep good notes and records.
Thank you very much for your attention!:cheers:
