Did You Hunt Waterfowl in the Open Water Zone this Season?
If so, WDNR wants to hear about your experience to help inform season frameworks for the Open Water Zone, provide important harvest data and give an opportunity to submit feedback on regulatory changes to Wisconsin waterfowl season frameworks. The survey is estimated to take 5 - 10 minutes to complete, and you're encouraged to provide information on the 2021 season as well as your previous season experiences.
Open Water hunters, take the survey here...
