The Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources conducts multiple surveys every year to track hunting, trapping, and angling effort and harvest as well as collect information on attitudes and opinions of our constituents. This information is used to guide DWR’s management decisions and provides long-term trend data in monitoring of wildlife populations. The participation of hunters and anglers like you is vital to the success of this program and ensures that we have the data necessary to manage Virginia’s wildlife and inland fish to serve the needs of the Commonwealth.
