DWR PLANS E-MAIL SURVEY

The Division of Wildlife Resources is using a new tool to collect valuable information about Utah's upland game populations — e-mail.

This month, 42,000 hunters will receive an e-mail that provides a link to the survey. If you're one of those hunters, DWR biologists hope you'll click on the link and answer the survey.

"The information you provide will help our biologists better manage upland game in Utah. And that will result in better hunting for you," said Heather Bernales, biometrician with the DWR. "We hope you'll take a few minutes to answer the survey."

Bernales says the survey does not ask for personal information. "If you receive a hunting survey that asks for a credit card number, a home address or any type of personal information, know the e-mail is not from us and delete it," she said.

For more information, call the nearest Division of Wildlife Resources office or the DWR's Salt Lake City office at 801-538-4700.
