Now that deer season has ended, the Department of Natural Resources reminds deer hunters they can report the results of their hunts online. All deer hunters are invited to complete the online survey before April 1, 2009.

Information gathered from hunters who voluntarily report their results will be used along with data collected through the DNR's annual mail survey to help provide the best information available for making management decisions. The DNR encourages hunters to report their results even if they did not bag a deer.

"Our online survey provides all deer hunters with an opportunity to directly impact deer management in Michigan," said DNR Wildlife Division Chief Russ Mason. "There's simply no such thing as too much information."

The survey is available on the DNR Web site at http://www.michigan.gov/dnr on the home page and under the Hunting and Deer sections. Anyone who bought a license, regardless of whether they were successful -- or even went afield -- is encouraged to participate.
