WYOMING — The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is encouraging hunters to submit their harvest surveys and feedback on the 2021 hunting season. Hunters’ responses about their season are used in making future wildlife management decisions.
Many hunters have received or will receive a harvest survey via e-mail or the U.S. Postal Service. The survey gathers harvest information and feedback from the 2022 hunting season.
Due to the large volume of antelope, deer and elk license holders a random sampling of those licensed hunters are surveyed. Not all license holders of those species will receive a request to complete a harvest survey. However, most license holders for moose, bighorn sheep, mountain goat, black bear, mountain lion, gray wolf, wild turkey, furbearer, sandhill crane and light goose conservation order are included in the survey process.
Hunters who receive and complete an antelope, deer or elk harvest survey will be entered in a drawing to win prizes from a long list of brands and organizations. To be eligible for prizes, hunters who are selected for a survey must submit responses by Jan. 5 for antelope, Jan. 26 for deer and Feb. 2 for elk.
Some hunters may receive a survey before their season ends, but Game and Fish asks hunters to wait until they are finished hunting or their season is over before filling out the survey. Responding online is the best way to submit your response.
Hunters who have questions about the antelope, deer and elk surveys can contact Tetra Tech’s survey team directly at 1-800-216-0477. For all harvest surveys hunters also can contact Game and Fish, at (307) 777-4589.
