614 responded to UBNJ Poll in first 24 hours

[Myreezoning]

Tremendous response so far thanks to NJ W & W we have 614 responders in the first 24 hours!

Over 31 pages of remarks so far, we will allow everyone to view the remarks at some point and see if we can get some compromise.

I think 3 weeks is enough time for the survey, do you agree? Our goal is to get a good representative sample, so please tell all your sportsmen friends to participate.

 

The results will be published on a wide variety of media after the poll closes!

IMO 3 weeks is plenty. Great to see people participating! I did the survey and then shared it on facebook with about 4 NJ hunting pages

[Myreezoning]

Thank you so much that is how we are going to get a good representative of the sentiments out there!

We want a poll that is not bias but tell what the sportsmen think about deer hunting in NJ.

 

Keep telling your hunting buddies to take the survey

Nice!  Great to see that level of response!

Regarding the survey duration...really depends on how much you think presenting the time period would play a factor.

Does "1 month" sound better than "3 weeks" when it comes to justifying the claims to support change being extracted from the survey results?

I do think 3 weeks is a good length of time, especially with the responses so far and the fact that we're using social media and email distributions to get it broadcast quickly.

Just don't want anyone (whether the state or some other faction) to "downplay" the significance of the information gathering due to the time period.

I guess it boils down to the final number of submissions as well versus the estimated total number of hunters, that will probably be the biggest factor to the state.

Good point

Those with club meetings within the next 3 weeks might want to mention the Call to Action survey which can be found at the UBNJ.org website

The problem I see with that survey is it doesn't capture respondents info so a person could reply to the survey as many times as they wish.  Anyone opposed to the results would argue that people intentionally inflated responses by repeatedly submitting the same answers.

I felt I left a watered down response. Is there anyway to add more dialog to submission?

Actually no...we have security in place to ensure users only take the survey once from their machine. Are there ways around it ...yes but then again there is always a way to beat security...just ask Target customers who had their credit card info leaked

timbouy you should be able to reclick the link from the machine you submitted the info from and edit your responses. If any issues PM me and I can help you.

Glad to see such a good amount of involvement!!!!
