Hunters have a new option to submit their 2017-18 hunting season harvest reports with a new Game and Fish Department interactive phone system where hunters can report their 2017-18 harvests.
Access the reporting system by calling (888)248-6866.
The system allows hunters to file reports over the phone using their license information and following voice prompts. Customers receive a harvest report confirmation number and email message after they answer a list of questions used by biologists to better manage the state’s wildlife resources.
“We’re always looking for ways to make our customer experience better and more convenient,” said Chris Chadwick, assistant director. “The system will provide another option for our sportsmen and women to quickly file their harvest reports for most species on a platform they are already comfortable using.”
Hunters with deer, elk, antelope, turkey, oryx, ibex, Barbary sheep or javelina licenses may now utilize the automated phone system, report online or call the department’s information center to meet their mandatory harvest reporting requirements.
Hunters may not utilize the automated phone or online systems to report bear, cougar and bighorn sheep harvests because they are required to present those species directly to the department for inspection. Trapping harvests must be reported online or by talking directly to a department customer service representative.
Reporting is mandatory and failure to report before the deadlines will result in rejection of all draw applications.
For specific harvest reporting deadlines, refer to the 2017-18 Hunting Rules and Information guide.
