Oh and just in case you think all issuers of depredation permits are basically the same and do the same things, think again. Apparently 20% of the 18 ‘environmental scientists’ who gave permission to kill beavers account for nearly 50% of the permits issued.
You will not be surprised to learn that Sara and Shelly work with Placer county, and Helayne works with Elk Grove. Small, small world. And it’s not just how many permits they issue, but how often they are issued to take an unlimited number of beavers and how often they are issued for a full year or more.
Something tells me when I sit down to Chi square this mess it will be significant at the p.05 level.
