Harvest questionnaire

[slyfox]

Just woundering if anyone fills the harvest questionnaire out.

[ruger#1]

i filled mine out today. im am getting tired of doing it, you would think it would give you a better chance at a leh hunt. at least they pay the postage.

[slyfox]

I,m thinking it does not help your leh been filling it out for 8 years and not one draw.

[Kirby]

I fill it out every year.

I just got mine, I think it's important to fill them out, it gives the gov't a better idea as to what is taken and what kind of time is put in. I do wonder though if the huggers with a licence fill their's out???

[BCKID]

I got mine today. I will fill it out, do every year.

[Red Foreman]

I fill em out too.Only takes a minute.

[MichelD]

Yup. Fill them out and send them in.

[i6s1]

I didn't get one this year or last. My wife got hers today.

[ruger#1]

i was wondering , do guides get to fill these out

[elkster]

I fill them out. Helps with data for leh and stats for time spent, numbers of animals harvested compared to number of hunters. It help with allocations etc.

[Thunderstix]

I don't mind filling them out but only for the tags/animals that I have hunted. I got a migratory one this year and I don't even have a license!

[Darren]

I think it is mandatory for guides to report all of their clients harvests. I could be mistaken though?

[timber]

Dude you should see the s__t we have to fill out the report and declaration for each hunter, in fact i should try to post it it will clear up a lot of misconception of how are non res and res hunters game is reported and the DISPOSITION of edible portions of game right down to the birds, all see if i can scan and post it

You have to fill out your harvest questionaire.

How can a government body manage wildlife if they don't have data.

LEH is not the focus of the questionaire, it is unfortunately a by-product of it. (managing hunters instead of wildlife)

My biggest concern with it is that it isn't thorough enough. They don't bother to ask what weapon I use, or what season I hunt in. These factors can have an impact at Hunting opportunity committee sessions and should be gathered.

If you look at other jurisdictions, they can pretty much tell you everything about hunter and wildlife data, while in BC, the response is "insufficient data collected". We have to start collecting more data.

As a hunter I think everyone should take the 2 minutes to fill it out. It gives the gov. the info to make changes to the regs. and maybe one day the regs will go in our favour instead of eveyone else. Just my 2 cents!

[NEEHAMA]

and the migritory duck/goose questionare!? it asks me to list the days that i hunted ducks and how many did i kill? how in the $%^& could i remember all the times i went out for ducks and on what days?! and now the upland game birds thing asks me about all the different grouse i shot?! i couldn't count the grouse and to remeber where the hell i got them? man it makes me crazy! i want to fill this stuff out but damn it!

huh, i feel better now thanks huntingbc

[Marc]

Start a journal and log everyday you go out. You know you're going to get a questionair in the mail or at least I've had one ever since I moved here 3 years ago.

[NEEHAMA]

no i'm just not that organized.

[Mooseman]

As an Angling Guide in Reg 7 you have to report:

- # of clients for each day
- where the are from
- waters fished that day
- species
- # of fish released
- # of fish killed
- total #
Of each fish killed -
- length
- weight
- male or female
- comments
-

I haven't gotten these before (2nd year hunting...), so do they expect them back anytime soon?? There's still duck and goose seasons open for a good while, aren't there? It would seem logical that they'd either send them at the beginning of the season, so you could keep track on the forms, or after the seasons close, so getting the forms wouldn't affect your hunting behaviour. Sending them halfway through the season just seems daft...

I started doing that a few years back. Lets me keep track of what's going on in the few areas I keep pounding, as far as logging road access etc.

[Nails]

I have been getting them for years and sending them back, completed with the cougar and wolf parts also.

i got mine in the mail today , I'll take a few minutes later tonite to sit down and fill it out.
