Hunter Report Cards Due With the deer and elk seasons over for the year big game hunt ers are reminded that it's time io get their report cards in the ma;l. These report cards receiv ed with the purchase of big game lags should be filled out and mailed to the game commission within 30 days following the close of the seasons. Hunters are requested tj ser.u the cards in whether they were successful in bagging an animal or not. In other words, report ard showing unsuccessful hunt ers are just as important for a statistical analysis of the deer and elk harvests as are the cards showing those who had good fortune. Hunter report cards are used by the game commission to pro rate the big game kill by coun ty and unit and the percentage of hunters in each county and unit Total state-wide kill is determin ed through a random survey of hunters. Survey questionnaires will be sent to hunters shortly after the first of the year. All big game hunters are re quired by law to return their re port cards to the game commis sion. Persons who fail to re turn their cards may be denied a deer or elk tag for the next season.
