The survey is currently underway and runs to the start of the November firearm deer hunting season.
Why not carry the survey through November and December? “When you get into November, fawns become difficult to separate from the does and yearlings, and hunting tactics of the November firearm season aren’t as standardized as they are during the archery season, so we will wrap things up at that point,” Meduna said.
To help keep those costs low, data entry for this survey is available online at OutdoorNebraska.gov/bowhuntersurvey. So bowhunters, bookmark that on your phone browser or PC and enter your data after each hunt.
The bowhunter survey is yet another tool in the box that will go in concert with other deer and turkey surveys in Nebraska to develop effective management strategies and hunting seasons.
