do you guys get sent a HIP Survey? Not the online one you have to fill out before you get your new license but the actual paper one from USFW? I get one
every year.

I've never got one but my dad gets stuff almost every year. This year the usfw sent him pre paid envelopes and want a wing from each bird he kills for the season.

Apparently as long as you send them wings they keep sending more envelopes.

I've never been sent one but my dad and brother have been getting them for 3-4 years now.

Dad got sent the same thing this year. He didn't want to do it but since he doesn't hunt waterfowl much anymore I talked him into doing it. Don't think he's killed anything to send in to them yet.

they did that to me for 4 years! they send you an amount of envelopes that they expect you can fill, by the fourth year they just sent a giant box full of them. wrote them a letter telling them to find someone else and wrote return to sender on the box. haven't heard from them since.

Seems to me that they get the information when we buy our license. I tell them I killed 20 ducks, no geese and no doves.

It's a program that won't die. They probably burn the wings without even opening the envelopes.

I sent in wings 14 years ago, and I've gotten a letter asking me to do it again every year since.
They don't need to know exactly what I shoot and where.

The mourning dove society sends me a survey from 2012 every two weeks and they go right in the trash, I probly haven't been to a dove shoot in three years.

I got "randomly" selected for that 3 times.
