Resources

Hunt Reporting

Mandatory Reports are due:

  • within 5 days of harvest
  • within 15 days after close of season

Hunt reports are necessary for sound management and conservation of the resource, therefore permittees are required to return hunt reports, whether successful or not.  If you fail to comply with this reporting requirement, you will be ineligible to receive a subsistence permit for that activity during the following calendar year.
