The Georgia Depart
ment of Natural Resources
(DNR) will hold a quota
deer hunt Dec. 5-7 at Fort
Yargo State Park in Winder.
During this time, the
entire park will be closed

According to a news
release, the hunt is need
ed to help control the deer
population in and around
the popular park.
Hunters are drawn by a
lottery system.
Officials emphasize the
hunts are not recreational,
but a valuable and effective
resource management tool.
The park will re-open at
7 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 8.

New angler
retention
program
successful
The Recreational Boat
ing & Fishing Founda
tion (RBFF) this week
announced the results of its
New Angler Retention Pilot
Program, in partnership
with the Georgia Wildlife
Resources Division.
This partnership utilized
a series of email commu
nications to keep first-time
license buyers engaged in
the sport of fishing.
“Every year, millions of
new and returning partici
pants go fishing (6.2 mil
lion in 2015),” said RBFF
president and CEO Frank
Peterson. “However, rough
ly just as many leave the
sport each year for various
reasons. With minimal staff
time as the only investment,
Georgia was able to gen
erate more than $92,000
in revenue while retaining
new anglers who may have
lapsed out of the sport oth
erwise, leading to more
funds for critical conserva
tion efforts. And when con
sidering the lifetime value
of an angler, the contribu
tion becomes even greater.”
During the program, five
groups, including a con
trol group, received vari
ous combinations of email
messages. All five groups
received a thank you mes
sage following the purchase
of their license and each
treatment group received a
series of license renewal
reminders at the end of the
license term.
Treatment groups
received combinations of
newsletters and a follow-up
survey and/or a discount
ed license renewal price
promotion to continue
the dialogue and encour
age anglers to renew their
license the following year.
Overall, the email com
munication to the four
treatment groups generat
ed a 4.7-percent increase
in the license renewal rate
compared to the control
group.
The program led to an
additional 1,448 licenses
being sold in Georgia, lead
ing to more than $18,000
in added revenue. Further
more, anglers in the treat
ment group renewed their
licenses more quickly than
those in the control group.
On average, members of
the control group took 30.5
days to renew their license
while members of the treat
ment groups averaged just
18.8 days.
