Bird Harvest Information Program (H.I.P.)
Important information for
bird hunters
Hunters intending to
hunt migratory game birds (including ducks, geese, snipe, woodcock
and coot) must have a H.I.P. permit number.
There is no charge for
a H.I.P. permit number. There are two ways to get one:
- Call the new
toll-free H.I.P. phone line: 1-800-207-6183. A live operator
will give you a H.I.P. permit number. Please write this number
on your license.
-- OR --
As in past years, hunters
still need separate permits and numbers for each state in which
they intend to hunt.
Harvest information provided
by hunters through H.I.P. helps state wildlife biologists better
manage migratory game bird populations.
