Moose sheep and goat is gonna be pretty much right on the money as it is highly regulated and people don't want to pay the penalty if they were to get caught not reporting. Some chronic liars will lie but there is no reason to, in all reality you will not draw until every animal you saw is dead of natural causes.

Deer and elk # are just plain delusional... MAYBE slightly more accurate than the population counts which are just lies to the point of being propaganda #'s.

One thing is true though you can put a good elk hunter in a bad unit/season and he will fill his freezer pretty much every year after he has a bit of time to learn it. And if he is a good elk hunter he will know to spend the time to know it very quickly, else he isn't a good elk hunter to begin with.
