LAUREL, MD 20708

Dear JOHN PUBLIC,
You have been selected to participate in this year's National Migratory Bird Harvest Survey. We only select a
small percentage of the nation's hunters for this annual survey, so your response is important EVEN IF YOU DO
NOT HUNT MIGRATORY BIRDS THIS SEASON.
We are asking you to tell us about your waterfowl hunting during the 2017 hunting season. Please use the
attached diary to record the details of your hunt each time you go waterfowl hunting in Maryland. Please read the
instructions on the diary form, fill it out completely. After the season is over or when you are done hunting in
Maryland, send the completed form back to us in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. If you receive this survey
too late for you to remember all of the details of your hunts, please fill out the lower portion of the form labeled
"SEASON TOTALS."
Your response is very important, whether you bag any birds or not. If you don’t hunt waterfowl at all this season,
please mark the “Did not hunt” box at the upper right portion of the form and return it to us. If you do hunt
waterfowl, please ONLY REPORT YOUR OWN PERSONAL HUNTING activity and harvest. We also ask
that you please keep track throughout the season of birds that you knocked down, but could not retrieve. Record
this total number on the lower portion of the form labeled "SEASON TOTALS."
To protect your privacy, we will not associate your name with your hunting records after the survey is completed.
If you have any questions or need more information about this survey, please write us at the above address, call us
toll-free at 1-800-419-2965 from 7:30am-4:00pm EST, email us at [email protected], or
