Dear Sir: 
Goose hunting has become very popular in the past few years. With this 
popularity, many problems have developed. One of the hardest jobs is to regulate 
the hunting properly. We would like to have hunters take as many geese as 
possible, but not more than can be replaced by next year's breeding season. If 
we shoot too many geese, we will pay the price in fewer geese and less hunting 
opportunity next year. 
Good hunting rules depend on knowing how the goose harvest is progressing 
during the season. People like yourself who live in the major goose hunting areas 
can help us get information on the goose kill, on the distribution of hunters, and 
on land open to goose hunting. 
We would like to have you fill out the entioedd questionnaire about these 
subjects and return it immediately in the envelope furnished. No stamp is needed. 
Please make your answers as accurate as possible. 
No individual replies to this questionnaire will be made public. We will 
only release averages and estimates of totals. 
Your help in this matter will be very much appreciated. 
Very truly yours,
