Do you report your Harvest in Montana?

Postby Kevrod3 » 07 09, 2014 •  [Post 1]

Looking at the FWP website its hard to understand how many people actually harvested elk. Do ALL successful elk hunters have to report their kills?

You do not have to report deer or elk. You do have to report sheep, goat, and bear

I would think a lot of the numbers are skewed by guided hunts. They more than likely report all of them and show a higher success rate for private vs public. Not all are private but I would bet most are.
