AFWA Resident Game Bird Working Group Survey to assess availability of harvest, hunter and species population data Draft report 8-18-17 Goal: To assess feasibility of tracking large-scale trends in resident game bird abundance, hunter participation and harvest Survey methods:

• Survey emailed to Directors and Wildlife Chiefs (to all states) June-July 2017.

• Survey questions designed to assess availability of data for 19 different resident game birds related to:

o Harvest o Hunter participation o Harvest per unit effort o Population estimates

Species were chosen for inquiry only if they had multi-state/provincial distributions; lesser prairie-chicken was not included because its range was exclusively in the U.S. and a multi-state cooperative effort was already underway to aggregate relevant harvest and population data. Canadian provinces were not surveyed at this time, but may be in the future. The full list of survey species, including AOU abbreviations used elsewhere, is below. Species AOU Code

Results: Response Rate: Forty-one states responded to the initial survey request, and 9 responded to follow-up email and phone invitations to participate, for a final response rate of 100%. Data Availability Summaries: State responses regarding the availability of hunting and harvest-related data are summarized by species below. Figures for state responses about the occurrence of a hunting season for a species are (states with a hunting season - states that never had a hunting season - states that once had a hunting season but no longer do). Figures for state responses about the availability of harvest, hunter, and harvest per unit effort (HPE) estimates are (states with annual data - states with intermittent data - states with no data). Some series do not sum to 50 because some states did not respond to every question, and some questions were not relevant to every state. Species

State responses regarding the availability of population data are summarized by species below. Figures for state responses about general population data availability are (states with current population data – states with no population data – states with historical data only). Figures for state responses regarding method-specific data are (states with annual data – states with intermittent data – states with no data). Some series do not sum to 50 because some states did not respond to every question, and some questions were not relevant to every state.
