Ewest,

Why is that? Please expand on this when you get a chance.

I don't doubt what you say but think I'm missing a key piece of info to make it clear to me why that is the case.

I could argue that BG spawn more often in warm climates so there should be more BG produced per season than cool climates but then again I could also argue that predators have a longer growing season in the warmer climates and will eat more BG per season. confused
