Bison COMPULSORY REPORTING

[BiG Boar]

I am not sure if I have to.

The bison hunting package sent out was dated 2009. It said I had to compulsorty report my bison.

However the regs state this:

COMPULSORY REPORTING
A person who takes or kills the following species
in any Management Unit:
• lynx • wolverine • bobcat
• wolf in Regions 1, 2, 4
must, within 30 days after the date of the kill,
report in person or by mail:
1. their name, address, telephone number and
Hunter Number,
2. the location where the animal was killed,
3. the date the animal was killed,

Do it even if you don't have it. It's not hard, and provides better data for research.

The bison package said you had to compulsory report...so why are you even questioning it??

Find out "where" you were supposed to do "your compulsory reporting" and contact them about it.I think some areas and species have dropped some of the reporting due to staffing shortages.The area you hunted this year and the species should indicate if you have to.

"return this form by mail, or report by phone to (250) 387-9777 or in person, to

offices identified on the front of the form."

He told you why, it was dated 2009, he wants to know if maybe it has changed?

For Bison,

Successful hunters must, within 30 days of the kill, report in person or by mail to the Victoria Fish and
Wildlife Branch, using a Harvest Data Card, the following information:

• location of the kill • date of the kill • number of days hunted • sex of the animal taken.

If I remember correctly I got mailed a harvest questionare and reported my kill then.

It is stated in the leh synopsis under the bison codes that it is compulory to have inspected.

X 2, your package is the gospel regardless of a date.

My package from this year (Nov 15th to Nov 30th hunt date) had information and paperwork to compulsory report within 30 days.
So I did.....
