Populations cycle. Are there more guys with beagles around my house when cottontail numbers are exploding-yes. Do they disappear when numbers crash-yes. Are they the underlying cause of these boom bust cycles-no. Maybe the DEC could recognize this and stay more on top of limits like they do with annual surveys for waterfowl. We are talking razor thin profit margins for folks who obey laws and sell perch here. Humans do/can have major effect on populations. Usually it from habitat loss, say removing mountain tops and placing them in ravines will cause the loss of salamander populations for example. Big commercial operations do too-like the market duck hunters in the Chesapeake way back when. But the hunters under a limit with recreational gear, even with all the guiding pressure in the Chesapeake is not the underlying cause of the population cycles for ducks in that area. Likewise, I'd say the recreational gear used to play the profit game as is in the Finger Lakes under the law is not a population driver.

The 50 limit, I'd have to imagine is the regulation that limits the sale of perch on the Finger Lakes. The profit margins for anyone traveling farther than someone in the town of Canandaigua would be non-existent over the course of time. No one likes game hogs. Not a lot of folks like to snitch either, but if you are a local who cares about the populations and see the local who can feasibly obtain a profit margin within the 50 limit parameters abusing the daily limit regulations-document it as best you can and pester the DEC for action. I really enjoyed the video. Local fishing shows are sparse, but I like them the best. Al Linder doing his thing on the Minnesota walleyes is ok, but watching a show that was filmed in my backyard is far more entertaining.

Interesting.

you try any trolling?

Caught two musky, some monster perch, white bass, and pike out walleye fishing-they got to turn on sometime...

Give Chaumont Hardware a call...

Hey Whaler, maybe the Mods are actually smart men and won’t just ban somebody because you poop your own pants.

Sorry for giving a crap bandeaus.

You didn’t take the time to read Hare’s studies whaler. You just don’t care very much.

You miss everything I say Rofl-op. Remove the aggressive genetic phenotypes from the population and you’re left with hand lickers like yourself who are wrought with Stockholm’s syndrome.

It is a mistake to chime in here. I’ll resign from further discussion, my apologies, truly do not mean any harm.

That’s a sad statement Gill-T

I, in fact, understand the problem very well fergie. It is the domestication cycle of societies. Animals, in which we are, can be domesticated over 2-3 generations as demonstrated by Belyaev and his foxes, which is beautiful science. Domestic animals by definition are non-aggressive, hence head to a master. Excellent self domestication hypotheses have been brought to the forefront for primates by Dr. Hare at Duke ( bonobos vs chimp studies). I don’t agree with much he has to say, but his studies are fantastic, his interpretations are ****. You see, strong, aggressive men build new societies so people can be free, they flourish upon this freedom, generations pass, they get spoiled, and separated from the struggles of their ancestors and give way to people like sk8man and gator who echo the Political Correctness, which is sharia, albeit Jewish sharia, but nonetheless Sharia-definitely not US Constitutional ideology. Don’t be good little goyim boys.

Gator, if you really believe change is constituted on behalf of full consensus then you truly don’t understand how change manifests itself. I am aggressive in speech, it’s my nature, big deal. Does not mean my ideas are crap or understanding of societal dynamics are bunk. Actions speak louder than words; an old adage gets old because when it’s true. Time, technology, change are not elements that ought to justify curtailment of our rights. Aggressive men wrote those amendments, it’ll take aggressive men to uphold them, that which you evidently are not.
