Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks’ annual game harvest survey is underway and will continue into early April of next year. Montana’s hunter harvest survey is an essential part of the hunting season cycle. FWP wildlife biologists and managers use the information collected during the survey to estimate the annual wild game harvest and to recommend quotas for upcoming hunting seasons. FWP harvest statistician Justin Gude in Helena said that about 80,000 Montana households are generally contacted over the course of the survey. Survey interviewers collect information on big and small game -- including deer, elk, antelope, moose, turkey and upland game birds. This year the survey calls will be made from calling centers in Bozeman and Helena. The simple telephone survey generally takes about five minutes to complete.
