Dear {MERGEFIELD FirstName\*Caps} {MERGEFIELD LastName\*Caps},
The Fish and Wildlife Service has developed a new online platform for our National Migratory Bird Harvest
Survey. This survey is used to estimate migratory bird hunting activity each year, so that we can manage the
harvest sustainably for the benefit of all Americans.
You have been selected to participate in the online survey for {MERGEFIELD “SurveyText2”} in
{MERGEFIELD “HuntState”}. We only select a small percentage of the nation's hunters for this annual survey,
so your response is important EVEN IF YOU DO NOT HUNT MIGRATORY BIRDS THIS SEASON.
Please visit www.fws.gov/harvestsurvey to create an account and access your survey. You will need to enter
your last name and the invitation code as it appears below:
Last Name: {MERGEFIELD “LastName”}
Invitation Code: {MERGEFIELD “InvitationCode”}
Please use this system to record your hunts during the season; you can also download your hunt log when you are
finished. Even if you do not hunt {MERGEFIELD “SurveyText2”} in {MERGEFIELD “HuntState”} this year,
your response is important. The survey deadline is June 15, 2019.
To protect your privacy, we will not associate your name with your hunting records after the survey is completed.
If you have any questions or need more information about this survey, call us toll-free at 1-800-419-2965 from
7:30am - 4:00pm EST. or email us at MigratoryBirdHarvestSurveys@fws.gov. Thank you in advance for your
time and your participation in this year's National Migratory Bird Hunter Survey.
Sincerely,
Ken Richkus, Chief
