Abstract:
This collection seeks to gather information on harvest and satisfaction from waterfowl hunters on the open waters of Green Bay and Lake Michigan. From 2021 through 2025, the Wisconsin waterfowl hunting season will have a North, South, and Open Water Zone. The Open Water Zone will be specific to the offshore, open waters of Lake Michigan and Green Bay. Specific regulations for this new zone, which starts 500 feet offshore and extends to the Wisconsin-Michigan state boundary, can be modified during the five-year period and input from hunters will provide critical information to improve hunter satisfaction. Former survey methods used to gather information on the season frameworks preferred by hunters under the 2016–2020 season structure cannot be applied to the Open Water Zone; thus, USGS plans to conduct both in-person and online surveys targeted toward open water hunters to gather their input on season frameworks. Surveys will also be used to inform managers on what, where, and how many species of waterfowl are harvested in this open water environment. Wisconsin waterfowl mangers will use information collected from this survey to assist in developing season frameworks within this zone and provide information on harvest composition.
