FWP's hunter harvest survey now under way
The Western News | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 14 years, 3 months AGO
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks is
calling on 160,000 hunters to gather harvest information on this
year’s hunt.
The survey asks hunters three
questions:
• Which district did they hunt.
• How many days did they spend
there.
• What did they harvest?
Wildlife managers call the research
vital to setting the next season’s hunting limit.
“The survey is also a useful tool to
get other information,” said Keri Wash, FWP harvest survey
coordinator. “We record reports of where and when people have seen
wolves and it helps with the general wildlife distribution
information that we gather.”
The hunter harvest surveys will
continue through March.
