Dear FIRSTNAME LASTNAME,

Earlier this hunting season, we asked you to help us manage the country's migratory game birds by keeping a record of your migratory bird hunting. This is an important part of a national program set up to assure healthy populations of migratory game birds and future hunting opportunity, and your participation is vital.

We asked you to tell us about your <<surveytype1>> hunting in <<huntstate>> during the past hunting season. Since we haven't gotten a response from you yet, we've enclosed another hunting record and postage-paid envelope in case the originals were lost in the mail or misplaced. Please fill out the attached hunting record and mail it back to us, even if you did not hunt <<surveytype1>>. If you can't remember all of the details of your hunts, just fill out the lower portion of the form labeled "SEASON TOTALS" as accurately as you can. Only report your own hunting activity and harvest on this hunting record.

Please send in your hunting record today. If you have recently returned your record, and our letters have crossed in the mail, we apologize for taking up your time, and we thank you for your help. Again, your help is essential. This survey is voluntary, but every response is important, even those from people who did not hunt doves or band-tailed pigeons this season.

If you have any questions, please write us at the above address, email us at [email protected], call us toll-free at 1-800-419-2965 from 7:00am-4:00pm EST, or log-on to http://www.fws.gov/hip/. You can request additional forms through this website: https://migbirdapps.fws.gov/hipweb. Thank you in advance for your time and your participation in this year's National Migratory Bird Harvest Survey.

Sincerely,

James B. Bortner, Chief

Division of Migratory Bird Management
