Nice to see that they stopped using survey monkey after someone pointed out the DNR was giving money to a company who donates to the HSUS.

Filed mine earlier this week. I’d suggest anyone taking it, it’s laid out real simple and gives a comment section after the questions. Only part I didn’t like was leaving my phone number. No one has called though[emoji23].

You can put in fake address and phone number ex: 614-111-1111. If they’re selling the information then the buyer won’t get anything useful out of what I gave them. If I win something, they can email me.

I get the same and have never taken it. Using both home wifi and mobile. It probably goes by IP. Something is surely goofed.

I personally think Whitetails unlimited is worthless like majority of the nonprofit conservation groups just looking to add members (money to their organization)

Agreed. I don't trust WU to take a kick-back from state wildlife agencies to fudge survey results.

I also have the same issue being told I've already completed it.

Opening it on my phone it's telling me I've already taken it. But I opened and took the survey just fine on a desktop PC. Strange.

I get what you're saying, Jon, about not trusting Whitetails Unlimited, but when I took the survey my impression (based on their choice of questions) is that they are displeased with the DOW and are looking for data to support they're viewpoint. Seemed like a fair survey to me. I'm very interested to hear back about the results.

One thing I was hard on the DOW about in the survey was the average 11% survey response rate for surveys over the past 5 years. It's 2018, people. Never in our history has it been easier to obtain public comment and opinion. If they are only getting 11% response and they aren't finding a way to quickly improve that number, someone needs a new job. That's unacceptable.
