The British Columbia Wildlife Branch has been producing harvest and effort estimates derived from hunter questionnaire data for many years. These estimates are a major part of the data base used for managing wildlife in the province. Whenever a statistical procedure is being relied upon, it is desirable to have some measure of its accuracy. Ideally, a comparison could be made between the estimates produced and some actual known values. The Wildlife Branch operates another data collection program (Compulsory Inspection) that provides a complete tally of the harvest for several big game species, and therefore permits a
simple means to evaluate the accuracy of hunter questionnaire estimates. This
paper describes the Compulsory Inspection program and compares its results to that of the Hunter Sample questionnaire.
