The National Harvest Survey documents annual kills of waterfowl and
other migratory game birds, as well as trends in hunter activity.
The Harvest Questionnaire Survey is sent in the fall to approximately
45 000 randomly chosen hunters. It is used mainly to estimate the
harvest of migratory game birds and hunting activity in Canada.
