Flyway Data Books

Each administrative Flyway summarizes their own report or data book that contains a collection of State-Federal Cooperative Harvest Information Program hunter and harvest data and population survey results. Although data books detail estimates for their respective flyway, all books contain summarized data for the other 3 flyways. These books serve as a reference for providing responses to inquiries from agency personnel, the media, and public. They are published annually and the most current versions are posted below. Also provided are the previous data books that were derived from the original harvest survey techniques, also known as the Mail-Questionnaire Survey, 1961-2001.
