UBBC Bowhunter Survey

[The Hermit]

THIS SURVEY IS FOR BRITISH COLUMBIA'S RESIDENT BOWHUNTERS!

The United Bowhunters of BC have designed and posted a survey to gather information about bowhunters and bowhunting in BC. We will compile and analyze the results and use the aggrigated numbers to better serve our members.

The survey is anonymous and no identifying information will be published in any form. You may only complete it once, and again please do not complete it if you are not a bowhunter living in British Columbia.

PLEASE TAKE ABOUT TEN MINUTES AND COMPLETE THE SURVEY FOUND AT:

My added comment at the end:

3. Hunting with firearms, under any circumstances, should not be allowed during Bow Only seasons?

This question is poorly phrased an inflammatory. From this question I gather that the UBBC is trying to remove youth only seasons from overlap with bow seasons. With this I COMPLETELY disagree. The UBBC and its members should not concern themselves with issues of youth hunting, because a few dozen youth hunters in the bush during the first week of september is no excuse to complain about overlap!!

Rather than hijack the thread, WHy not just complete the survey 'as is" and answer that you disagree with them? I assume you can disagree?

Leading questions and throwing it out the window research combined with snowball sampling.


Too bad.

The UBBC is not trying to remove youth only seasons that presently overlap or exist in a bow only season. I agree with your last statement.

In laymans terms for those who don't know what snowball sampling is:

- strong biases are the norm

For example: the questions involved are geared towards only the 'bow hunting community' and and the recruitment to the sampling are typically only their own bow hunting friends and so on (hence snowball effect)..... and subsequent biases.

Too bad.

Couldn't afford to hire you to get the language right.
It is a start to understanding a particular group. Bowhunters have been accused of NOT doing something (even by you). To do something, is better than to do nothing at all.

Gatehouse is right. Everyone will have their own opinion. I look forward to them stepping up and assisting in the future. Fill out the form. Let's see where it leads.
