I've appreciated the discussion, guys! It has provided the opportunity to expose what we are seeing and learning as well as the adjustments we are making to gather the most representative data in the most cost-effective way. It will certainly evolve in the future.
I got my first look at the e-mail and open-web survey data this afternoon, and at first glance, I'm really excited about the e-mail survey. The open-web respondents averaged about 60% more hunt days and nearly twice the duck kill as the e-mail respondents. So, it looks like the e-mail survey might provide results more similar to the random mail-out survey, which would be great!
We will provide a preliminary summary presentation of the survey results at the August 6th Commission meeting.
