So a buddy of mine got the 2012-2013 waterfowl survey and he told me the only thing he got out of this thing was they are looking to shorten the season. Either a 45 day continuous or a split season with combining the central and northern zones and also combining the 2 southern zones. Basically they were asking which he would prefer. Anyone heard or seen any of this? If this is what they are trying to do, that will be terrible!! I don't get why anyone would feel this is nessecary with the way the last few years have been overall??

I got the survey this year as well and two years ago. The 45 day/30 day question was on both of them. I believe it is just a standard question on the survey, not stating that we will have a 45 or 30 day season, just what you would prefer "if" we had one.

Any body know of any where you can find results of the survey when they are compiled. I am interested to know what the state actually takes into consideration and what they do if anything based on the information they receive from them.

Was the changing to four zones based on survey results?

If you haven't been out to your favorite waterfowl place lately, the spring migration is an awesome spectacular and I would assume about peak in the northern part of the state.

Should only be a FOIA request by mail to the right location. Of course, impossible to locate on the Internet since DNR is great at updating and refreshing webpages.

These surveys are not from IDNR, they're from the Illinois Natural History Survey. The results are used by IDNR.
