Abstract: We collect information on hunters and anglers and their success in order to administer and evaluate hunting and fishing programs. Because of high demand and limited resources, we often provide hunt opportunities by lottery, based on dates, locations, or type of hunt. We collect information on the prospective hunter (name, address, contact information), on the preferred dates and locations, and on the type of hunt. We also collect information at the end of hunting and/or fishing experiences to help determine resource impacts and quality of experience.
