Chapter V - Block Management Efficiency 



- A daily work journal, BMA patrol log, permission slip log, and 

 weekly report forms completed by patrollers to record their 

 activities. 



► A one-day session so patrollers are aware of potentially 

 dangerous or questionable situations and know what to look for 

 in terms of violations. 



► A comment sheet sent/presented with the contract so the 

 landowner can write down anything about the season when it 

 happens. 



► A sign with "Open" on one side and "Sorry We're Full" on the 

 other side. The sign hangs below the BMA sign. 



► The plywood sheets used for roster boxes cut at the lumber 

 company instead of by FWP employees to increase the speed of 

 construction. 



Many of the items mentioned above, and a number of others, are 

 included in the annual reports each coordinator writes and sends to 

 Helena. The reports also contain forms used for hunter day 

 tabulation and post-season surveys, letters sent to landowners, etc. 

 The coordinators could send the reports, forms, computer 

 spreadsheets, letters, etc., they use that are not in the reports to their 

 fellow coordinators when the reports are sent to Helena. The other 

 coordinators could see how other regions deal with some of the same 

 problems, reporting requirements, and situations. Streamlining and 

 coordination between regions would likely occur. 



Recommendation #13 



We recommend the department increase coordination among the 



regions by: 



A. Establishing a process that ensures Block Management 

 Coordinators review other region's annual reports and 

 documentation. 



B. Establishing a forum to discuss the various methods for 

 completing the same or similar block management tasks.
