I did the same thing as you Dave a few years ago when Bender was still around and things were way worse. I offered to help out a bit to proofread and he took me up on it and all of a sudden it turned into being a full blown editor deal for at least a few magazines.

All joking aside, a mistake on a hunt story isn't a big deal but a mistake in the MRS from which people use to make important decisions has more of an impact.
And I "get it" that the MRS should not be the only research material used and that information from wherever it originated should be checked.

i agree that if you are paying money for something like the MRS for the specific reason of personal research, then it should be flawless. but I wouldn't get huffy puffy over it. mrs is based off of statistics from the state. yes it is a good tool but sometimes I look at it thinking no way would I consider this zone or unit a blue chip and on and on... 5 of the biggest deer ive ever seen on the hoof are living in a place that is never mentioned, and I think there is strategy behind that..... if I want to hunt Nevada next year I'm going to pm a few guys from this forum and see what info I can gather. I'm not basing my luck upon a list that the state has printed out saying statistically this or that is best. not every body reports harvests... some states you don't have to. that's what I love about this forum, I can get direct insight and info to point me in the right direction. then from there I can call biologists an that area and confirm or deny info. if a good friend from out of state calls me up and says hey, I was told unit ## was the best unit in the state followed by this and that, can you help me out.. if hes a good friend.... id say yeah, don't go to those units. apply for sure if controlled draw but id point him in a totally diff direction.

There are definitely mistakes in the MRS tables. Some of them are just outright wrong and I'm not sure how they get through the cracks. To ivorytip's point though, units that aren't discussed and mistakes create opportunities to those who research. And I agree, not every single unit can be covered and there are hidden honeyholes virtually everywhere that a guy can find. I usually start my research in the yellow units because that's where a hidden opportunity is at.

I was thinking Louisiana or Mississippi. I bet that accent really messed with those Oregonians at first.
Your comment brought back some memories. Our family was in OR initially, then as young kids we were moved to Hammomd, LA. in 65 I think it was. As young kids we were there long enough to get a pretty good twang, then returned to OR. Drove English teachers nuts in the very small OR town we returned back to in 67. My younger brother famously got in trouble because he could not pronounce can't to their satisfaction in first grade I think it was. Came out more like caiiin't, "I caiiin't say caiiin't.", he'd say, really tweaked em.
