Hunters: Consider Taking Part in Annual Turkey Survey This Year
Since 1979, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) has conducted an annual Turkey Hunting Population Index Survey (also
known as the Harvest Card Survey). This survey provides us with data on
hunter effort and success, but more importantly, it is an index of the turkey
population.
For each hunting trip, hunters are asked to record the date,
number of hours hunted, county or physiographic region hunted, the number of
gobblers seen, the number of hens seen, the number of gobblers heard, the number
of gobblers killed, and if they were the hunter or were a guide.
This is a volunteer effort. If you would like to participate, please print the survey found on this page ("Turkey Hunting Population Index Survey"), and fill in the information each time you go hunting
this year.
At the end of the season, you can take a picture of the completed
form with your smartphone and email it to bobby.bond@dnr.ga.gov
or you can mail it to Bobby Bond, GA DNR, 1014 MLK Blvd, Fort Valley, GA 31030. Questions? Contact Bobby Bond (bobby.bond@dnr.ga.gov or 478-825-6354).
Thank you for your time and good luck this season!
