Your understanding of statistics and sampling procedures betrays not a hint of moniker. If you want to sample the population year after year, it has to be done randomly in areas that are in an around the actual migration route for that year. So basically, if the fleet is in 60’ all week, that is where they need to sample. If they are running up the river and the fleet is on the edges of Ambrose, that’s where you sample.
