Title: Wildlife Division Report No. 3687: 2016 Waterfowl Harvest Survey

Collection Number: RG 2020-12

Scope and Content: A sample of waterfowl hunters was contacted after the 2016 hunting seasons to estimate hunting activity and determine opinions and satisfaction with hunting regulations. Harvest surveys are one of the management tools used by the Wildlife Division in developing regulations. Estimating harvest and hunting effort are among the primary objectives of these surveys. Estimates derived from harvest surveys, as well as breeding bird abundance and population models, are used to develop harvest regulations that provide sustainable recreational hunting and viewing opportunities of migratory game birds. Wildlife management agencies also consider hunter opinions when establishing regulations.
