Poll results from the 2015 Waterfowl Symposium

Will be interesting to see the results of the random hunter survey conducted over this past winter.

They have Chuck, did you see this? ^^^^^ The DNR said last summer that they were going do a scientific survey this winter.

And as I mentioned earlier, managers are hearing the same these last 6 months in regards to an early teal season. I just do not think that the scientific poll %s will be much different.

And I think some will still dispute this winters scientific survey just because it does not fit their view point. Bitchers are going the bitch, regardless of the topic/issue. C'est la vie

No, I missed this winter's scientific study....either I didn't get one in the mail, lost it, or wasn't included.

I know nobody that got one. Yup real scientific.

Did anyone get one, or know of someone who did?

What a joke of a poll! I'm shocked the results were that favorable for a teal season after polling a bunch of blue-haired MWHA members.


Let's say 75% of duck hunters oppose a teal season?

Why is that a reason to not have one? Who cares if most people don't want one?

I guess I'm one of the few left who believe hunting seasons should implemented (or discontinued) based on a scientific-management approach.

I guess the DNR has succumb to a new management approach---listening to a bunch of whiny old farts get emotional.



I hope the DNR sticks to science and the hypothetical 75% of the duck hunters who don't want a teal season can choose to not hunt it.

The new poll:

Who wants more ducks?
Who wants more places to shoot ducks?
Who wants their old places to produce ducks like they used to?

If we can get a majority of people to say "I do" to these three questions, it WILL make a difference....

^^^^^ Spot on!!!!

I received one of the winter surveys. There was around 100 questions in it, a lot of "do you feel filling a bag limit is the only way to have fun" and "is filling a bag limit the sign of a succesful hunt" type questions. A section on how many days you hunt and how many ducks/geese you killed. A section on the early teal season. And a section of how you feel the DNR manages waterfowl.
