Please keep an accurate record of all of your grouse
hunting efforts for the season on the survey form provided. All information
regarding hunters and locations are confidential. Your honesty and
cooperation are greatly appreciated.
1.
Only one hunter in a party should complete this form. A party is
defined here as a group of hunters who hunt together and whose actions
likely influence success of other hunters in the group. Two or more
individuals who hunt in the same general area but do not influence each
other’s chance of seeing game should not consider themselves as a party, but
should instead fill out separate forms.
2.
Report each hunt on a separate line. Record all hunts, even
those when few or no grouse are taken. Every hunt is important.
3.
If you hunt in more than one county on the same day, list all
counties and the corresponding information on different lines.
4.
Record the number of hours hunted to the nearest 1/4 hour.
5.
Please keep the survey in a convenient location (on your
refrigerator, in your glove box, or with your hunting gear) to record
results after each hunt.
6.
Enter the number of original or new flushes in the "# Grouse Flushed"
column. This is the number of different birds that you flushed. If you
flush any of the original birds again, enter the total number of times you
reflush grouse in the "# Grouse Reflushed" column.
7.
Use the codes at the bottom of the form when recording Land Type and
Quality of Hunt information.
8.
At the end of the season, or when you are through hunting for the
season, return the survey to:
