RE: Your DNR
Indiana has a an Archery Survey program.
Here is the info:
If you plan to bowhunt for deer in the early archery season, wildlife researchers want to borrow your eyes and ears. DNR biologists are looking for 3,000 deer archery hunters to record the wildlife they see while hunting from Oct. 1 through Nov. 16.
Sightings by bowhunters of wildlife such as bobcat, coyote, red fox, gray fox, gray and fox squirrel, bobwhite quail, wild turkey and ruffed grouse are used to monitor population trends from year to year.
If you would like to be a participant or your address has changed, please send your name and address no later than Sept. 15, 2007 to:
Archery Survey
Division of Fish & Wildlife
562 DNR Road
Mitchell, IN 47446
Participants will be selected for the 2007 season based on county of residence and will be uniformly distributed around the state. If you were a participant in 2006, and your address has not changed, you do not need to send in your name again for 2007.
