A reminder today to hunters… your mandatory Hunter Report Idaho Fish and Game track deer, pronghorn, and elk herds. The reports are due within 10 days of your hunt ending. Hunters can download Idaho Fish and Game’s mobile app to quickly fill out their reports, or they can go online to gooutdoorsidaho.com, or call (877) 268-9365. If you opt to use the phone, make sure you have your hunting license number handy. The reports are an important tool for wildlife managers because deer and elk harvests tend to reflect game populations, and managers can gauge whether there are changes that need to be addressed. In recent years, only about 60 percent of hunters filled out their mandatory hunter reports. But you need to know that even if a hunter didn’t harvest anything, and even if they didn’t hunt, everyone who bought a deer, elk or pronghorn tag needs to fill out a harvest report.
