Nova Scotia Online Wildlife Observation Survey -- Year #1
2012 Calendar Year -- January 01 – December 31

The Nova Scotia Association of Crossbow Hunters is asking for your help in monitoring the relative abundance and distribution of whitetail deer and other wildlife species found in Nova Scotia’s wilderness. The wildlife we are most interested in are: whitetail deer, black bears, moose, raccoon, skunk, porcupine, fox, ruffed grouse, coyote, bobcat, or other wildlife normally seen in your area. Since big game hunters often spend many hours in the woods, throughout the
entire calendar year, you can provide valuable information about species that are often very difficult to measure. The wildlife observation data you provide will be a valuable asset to future game management strategies, policies and programs put forward by the NSACH. Thank you to the entire hunting community for participating in our Observation Survey.

Wildlife Observation Guidelines and procedures are as follows:

1. Be sure to record your name, address, the date, activity, Wildlife Management Zone,
weather conditions, and the type and number of animals for each observation.

2. Use one survey form for each day of big game sightings during both open and closed
hunting seasons.

3. It is important that all of your big game hunting efforts be recorded, even if nothing is
seen. Please record all of your hunting activity throughout the big game seasons, even if
you have no wildlife sightings.

4. *A valid email address is required to fill out this survey. If you want to receive updates, reminders to report your observations, or want to have the results of the survey e-mailed to you, please select either option below the email address field.
