Show Waterfowl Hunters Asked to Return Cards After Hunt Waterfowl hunters are again being asked to assist in determining deter-mining future regulations that are set each year by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and each of the forty-eight states. The Service this year has issued is-sued "hunter" cards with about one in ten of the federal duck stamps sold from more than 700 post offices throughout the nation. na-tion. Waterfowlers who received such cards in Utah are urged by the department of fish and game to keep an accurate record of their hunting days, bag, and other information in-formation requested. Those who return the survey cards will receive a questionnaire at the end of the shooting season in which they will be asked to report their season's success. From this important information, informa-tion, the service can beter determine deter-mine the numbers of ducks and geese bagged by hunters across the country. It will enable management man-agement agencies to view the hunting regulations from the standpoint of actual shooting pressure on the birds and aid in gearing future regulations to best represent the long-term interests of both the shooters and the fowl. |
