Harvest Information Program (HIP) Requirement
The Migratory Bird Harvest Information Program (HIP) is used by state wildlife agencies and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to develop more reliable estimates of the number of migratory birds harvested throughout the country. These estimates provide biologists with the information to help make sound management decisions concerning hunting seasons, bag limits and population management.
If you hunt doves, ducks, coots, geese, brant, swans, woodcock, rails, snipe, sandhill cranes, band-tailed pigeons or gallinules, you are REQUIRED to participate in the Harvest Information Program.
