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.
