Food for thought again.
There is something all wrong here. The general trend on this project is for quantity instead of quality. This in itself isn't too strange since it is a temporary project.
What bothers me is that after a very elaborate explanation that became this is a temporary project as much information as possible has to be gotten out of the specimens Therefore the specimens do not have to be good but useable so that they can be studied now instead of in the future. So I start putting up useable skins so that they can be studied in the present. But then there nothing but complaints about how bad the skins look (this is after a big wheel came to H.S.T. and informed P.O.P.'s big wheel how bad our skins looked).
Do I start putting up good skins which of course slows me down, this doesn't satisfy anybody either because not enough skins are put up. Isn't this interesting.
This doesn't seem to be the only field that quantity is stressed. Bandig is another. Let's start off this sorties. I can see only two main reasons for bandig sorties. To find out where they goad to learn down many times a year they breed in when the breed travels and bandig.
