Duck hunters – We want to hear from you!

Dear waterfowl hunters,

Please take the time to complete this online survey. The survey is being sent to hunters throughout the Atlantic Flyway, and your answers will be used to help develop regulations that will provide the most hunting opportunity, while maintaining healthy duck populations.

You have until the end of October to complete this survey. Thank you for helping to make a difference in our duck hunting future.
