The Wyoming Game and Fish Department wants to know how your hunt went this year. Many hunters will begin to receive a harvest survey via e-mail or the Postal Service. The survey gathers harvest information and feedback on the 2022 hunting season. Hunters’ responses about their season are used in making future wildlife management decisions.
Because of 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, nearly all license holders for moose, bighorn sheep, mountain goat, black bear, mountain lion, gray wolf, wild turkey, furbearer, sandhill crane, small game, upland game, migratory game bird and light goose conservation order are included in the survey process.
The state wildlife agency uses the data it collects from the survey as a tool for monitoring populations, setting future quotas, season dates and other regulations.
Hunters who do receive and complete an antelope, deer or elk harvest survey will be entered in a drawing to win one of several donated prizes.
