Abstract: Under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the agency responsible: (1) for the wise management of migratory birds in the United States, and (2) to ensure hunting regulations (50 CFR part 20) are within guidelines that allow for the populations' well-being. The Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (AFWA) and all four Flyway Councils are collaborating on this survey. This will be a one-time data collection; however, information obtained will give the Service a great deal of insight into the background and knowledge of our hunting constituency. The information will also used by private conservation and hunting organizations that are concerned with the welfare of our migratory bird resource. State and Federal authorities will use hunters' responses to the questionnaire to measure dove hunter awareness of: • Impacts on dove health related to the use of lead shot for mourning dove hunting. • Impacts on other wildlife health related to the use of lead shot for mourning dove hunting.
