Results of the 2006-2007 Illinois Trapper Survey

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

Annual survey of Illinois furbearer trappers to determine their activities, harvests, characteristics, and opinions. Abstract: A random sample of 1,200 purchasers of the Illinois resident trapping license (2006-2007 series) were mailed a 5-page questionnaire between March and May 2007. We received 859 usable responses (73% response rate). Trapping license sales increased 52% from 2005-2006 (2,414 licenses) to 2006-2007 (3,660 licenses). Trappers set an average of 24.6 traps for an average of 28.3 days/nights during the 2006-2007 season, and they harvested an estimated 210,395 furbearers (127% increase from 92,835 furbearers harvested in 2005-2006). An estimated 93,819 raccoon (Procyon lotor, Wilson and Reeder 2005) were taken by trappers in 2006-2007, more than any other furbearer species. Estimated harvest of other species included 66,297 common muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus), 3,784 American mink (Neovison vison), 22,617 Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana), 1,219 red fox (Vulpes vulpes), 102 gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus), 11,124 American beaver (Castor canadensis), 4,768 striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis), 47 least/long-tailed weasel (Mustela nivalis/M. frenata), 6,553 coyote (Canis latrans), and 85 American badger (Taxidea taxus). Sightings of gray fox, North American river otter (Lontra canadensis), and bobcat (Lynx rufus) by trappers, and harvest of furbearers by hunting trappers, were also documented.

Results of the 2007 Illinois Conservation Order Light Goose Hunter Survey

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

Annual survey of activities, harvests, and attitudes/opinions of hunters participating in the Light Goose Conservation Action. Abstract: A random sample of 2,000 potential goose hunters was selected from National Migratory Bird Harvest Information Program HIP registrants in Illinois. Survey participants were mailed an 8-page questionnaire, reminder postcards, and a follow-up 2-page questionnaire, between April and July 2007. We received 1,052 usable responses, which included 841 responses to the original 8-page questionnaire 44% response and 211 to the follow-up 2-page questionnaire 20% response . Based on these responses, we estimate 5,962 hunters were active during the Conservation Order snow goose season in Illinois in 2007, slightly more than the 5,543 hunters estimated for the 2006 season. Days of hunting were estimated at 39,170 in 2007, which was 26% less than the estimate of 53,154 days in 2006. An estimated 47,514 snow geese were harvested during the 2007 Conservation Order snow goose season. This represents a 40% decrease from the 2006 estimated harvest of 74,268 snow geese. The South Zone accounted for 46% of total days of hunting and 61% of total harvest. Statewide, 73% of the harvest occurred during February. Of respondents who did not hunt during the Conservation Order season, 39% indicated they had no place to hunt. Two-thirds 66% of hunters pursued snow geese by using decoys over land. Hunters expressed a preference for hunting multiple species of geese snow geese, white-fronted geese, Canada geese at the same time. Although large acreages of land are potentially available to snow goose hunters, survey responses indicate hunters may have difficulty accessing this available land.

Results of the 2006-2007 Illinois Hunter Harvest Survey

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

Annual survey of Illinois resident hunters to determine their activities and harvests in Illinois. Abstract: A random sample of 3,000 potential hunters was selected from among 2006 Illinois Habitat Stamp and hunting license purchasers. An 11-page questionnaire was successfully mailed to 2,919 of the 3,000 individuals. We received 1,767 returned questionnaires, 1,744 of which were usable, for a 61% response rate. License sales increased 1% from 280,000 sold for the 2005 season to 282,000 sold for the 2006 season. Comparisons of harvest estimates from 2005-2006 season to 2006-2007 season suggest harvest decreased for 9 game animal categories (rabbit, quail, pheasant, dove, woodcock, gray partridge, raccoon, coyote, and opossum), and increased for 4 categories (fox squirrel, gray squirrel, red fox and gray fox). Resident hunters reported little difficulty gaining access to hunting lands for all species pursued. Few residents reported leasing land (6%) or hiring outfitters (1%) to access land. Few (7%) resident hunters hunted upland game species outside of Illinois. Pheasant, quail and rabbits were most commonly pursued out of state. Nearly (72%) of respondents hunted deer in Illinois during 2006-2007. The type of deer most commonly harvested were does (44% of total harvest). More than 80% of respondents hunted on private land during all deer hunting seasons. Few deer hunters (6%) leased land to hunt deer, however leasing appeared to increase harvest. Resident deer hunters are willing to harvest adult deer of either sex, but are unwilling to harvest fawns. A majority (78%) of resident deer hunters rated the quality of their deer hunt in Illinois average or better.

Results of the 2006 Illinois Conservation Order Snow Goose Hunter Survey

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

Annual survey of activities, harvests, and attitudes/opinions of hunters participating in the Light Goose Conservation Action. Abstract: Participant surveys are necessary to estimate harvest during the Conservation Order snow goose hunting season and overall effectiveness of this conservation program. We selected a random sample of 2,000 goose hunters, and mailed them a 4-page questionnaire. From this sample, 81 questionnaires were undeliverable, and 1,198 were filled out, returned, and useable (62% response). The 2006 estimate of 5,543 conservation order snow goose hunters was similar to the 5,689 hunters estimated for the 2005 season. Days of hunting were estimated at 53,154 in 2006, which is 26% greater than the estimate of 42,349 days in 2005. An estimated 74,268 snow geese were harvested during the 2006 Conservation Order snow goose season. This represents a 69% increase over the 2005 estimated harvest of 43,839 snow geese. Fifty-nine percent of the 2006 harvest occurred in the Central and South Zones during February. We examined hunting activities and tactics of snow goose hunters during the Conservation Order season, plus some personal characteristics of these hunters.
