We reported in February 2021 that the wildlife agencies in Louisiana, Arkansas, and Connecticut had implemented new Harvest Information Program (HIP) procedures to improve the quality of data received from migratory bird hunters.

The new procedures implemented in these states have hunters obtaining HIP certification by directly contacting the state agency.
