Surveys

FACT SHEET
WWW.HUNTERSURVEY.COM and WWW.ANGLERSURVEY.COM

Hunters and anglers nationwide are encouraged to take part in a brief survey at www.huntersurvey.com or a similar survey for anglers at www.anglersurvey.com. Those who consider themselves hunters and/or anglers are encouraged to participate in each; there is no age restriction.
Hunters and anglers who complete surveys will:
- Help provide fish and wildlife agencies and hunting organizations with information needed to protect and enhance hunting and fishing opportunities.
- Provide input that will improve hunting and fishing products to meet their needs.
- Explore fast, fun and interactive feedback from other hunters and anglers nationwide.
- Be eligible to win gift certificates from hunting and fishing retailers.
The survey is supported by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) and the American Sportfishing Association (ASA) to help state fish and wildlife agencies, conservation groups and outdoor retailers learn more about hunters’ and anglers’ needs and trends. NSSF and ASA are trade associations for the shooting/hunting and angling industries respectively.
Surveys ask about hunters’ and anglers’ participation levels, purchases of fishing and hunting equipment, and opinions about their outdoor sports. Survey results will be able to report the most popular equipment brands, species hunted or caught, short and long-term preferences and participation trends, as well as report hunter and angler feedback to improve products.
Agencies, conservation organizations and outdoor retailers can ask anglers and hunters to fill-out the interactive survey and then use responses to meet the needs of hunters and anglers.
Surveys take less than 2 to 3 minutes to complete, and participants must complete a short registration form during the first visit. Each month, participants will receive an email allowing them to click directly into the survey without recalling passwords or usernames.
E-mail addresses will be collected only to send monthly electronic surveys; they will never be sold, given away or used for any promotion or solicitation.
The survey was developed by Southwick Associates of Fernandina Beach, Florida (www.southwickassociates.com). The firm tracks outdoors and natural resources trends and economic data to help agencies and trade groups protect and expand hunting, angling and other outdoor opportunities.
