When my grandson harvested his deer during youth season we went online and recorded the deer with the DNR, with that was a survey with several questions regarding the harvest including a google map of my immediate neighborhood asking that I place a dot on the property where the deer was harvested, when I harvested my deer it never asked any survey questions.
Did anybody else have to fill out a survey?

No for myself, Easton or my dad. All were checked in online using my phone.

I used online check in on my phone. I did survey and it did ask for a 4x4 mile square of where the buck was taken.
If I remember correctly it asked me that last year also.
I wonder if it has to do with how the survey was filled out?
My deer sightings were lowest on the scale...

The deer processor checked in the deer my grandson killed. No survey at that time. Not sure if there is a follow up survey or not?

I was wondering the same thing this morning, So I looked at the email confirmation and there was a link to take the survey. The survey was pretty thorough, my only complaint would be the very first question said sex of deer: male (buck) / female (doe) which leads to a different form of questions for the survey based on buck or doe harvest... the deer I got was a button buck so it was a little mis-leading since they are checked in as antlerless; the option should have been antlered or antlerless and then sex so as to be more consistent with how we have to check them in through the online system. I think the survey will provide some valuable information for our head deer biologist and his team! A link to the survey can be found near the bottom of the page where the current deer harvest number is located. www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/8367.htmNot sure if link will work or not. Scott |

Well that certainly is interesting...I went back and completed the 2 for those I have tagged thus far (since I didn't recall them being an option on my phone originally). Interesting that they are trying to get more age and specific location info on them. I will say that they at least seem to be trying...
The survey does need some polishing, like was mentioned - they need to have an antlerless/male selection. I would also like to see a comment section added.

Both of the deer I checked in were harvested on private property.

I agree on the antlerless male option. They do catch up with it when the ask the number of inches of antler.

I checked in by phone also, but one of the questions was email address and when I got home there was a confirmation email on my computer, asking that I take the survey (which I did) with a link to it.

Thanks surveyor. I checked my email and I’ll be damned, there was a survey in the confirmation. Filled out one for both my deer.

Did the survey show you a google map of the area you reported the harvest from asking you to pin point the exact location.

I noticed the 4x4 square also. What they do with info I’m not sure but we should all hope it’s a good thing.

I never told them where I harvested the deer other than the address on my license.
How did they know it was harvested within a certain area and who cares where it was harvested within a certain small area.
