Yes, they're a great organization overall, but that doesn't mean that some of their data collection/retention policies couldn't be improved a bit.

I totally agree with you that it's a great organization and they are sincere in their attempt to educate and protect our lakes. However I question the need to record bow/license numbers in the first place.
Let's look at the data that's gathered. So they know your bow and license#s. Then they know where you're from, and possibly your boating habits if you encounter their volunteers at another launch site. That's pretty much it, as they can't possibly know everywhere you may launch your boat. Unless there's some other unseemly reason, I don't understand why.
So what say you NHLA: Just what do you do with the information that you've gathered? And how does that help your cause?
