Biologist questions

[Ivorytooth]

When I get a biologist on the phone they’re usually short on time. My question is with limited time, what questions should a guy ask to make sure you’re getting the most out of the conversation?

A woman is the sex that can bear offspring or produce eggs.

 

[Macintosh]

Do you have a general topic you are calling them about? Data behind state seasons and regs? Habitat info on a hunt unit? Politics? Did Epstein kill himself or not?

 

[Jason Snyder]

Whenever I get in touch with one I always ask them if I can follow up with email questions. Then you aren’t playing phone tag.

Ask open ended questions versus yes/no questions. Demonstrate you have done some research and not looking for spoon fed answers. Have your questions prepared so that when they finish answering there isn’t an awkward period where you are trying to remember what you wanted to ask. The above goes for calling Wardens, and in my limited experience, the wardens give more usable info.
