Report on deer, elk tags to avoid future penalty
Any hunter who purchased 2016 big
game or turkey tags needs to report
their hunt results by Tuesday, Jan. 31.
Hunters are required to report on
each deer, elk, cougar, bear, pronghorn
and turkey tag purchased — even if
they were not successful or did not
hunt. Sports Pac license holders need
to report on each big game or turkey
tag issued.
Hunters have two ways to report:
• Online at www.odfw.com or report
myhunt.com, either at home or by vis-
iting an ODFW office with a comput-
er available for Hunter Reporting.
• By phone, call 1-866-947-6339 to
talk to a customer service representa-
tive from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days
a week.
Reporting deadlines are:
• Jan. 31, for all 2016 hunts that
ended by Dec. 31, 2016;
• April 15, for all 2016 hunts that
end between Jan. 1 to March 31, 2017.
Hunters need the following pieces
of information to report, which takes
just a couple of minutes:
• Hunter/Angler ID number (located
on ODFW licenses, tags and applica-
tions; this is a permanent number that
stays the same from year-to-year)
• The
two
digit
Wildlife
Management Unit (WMU) number of
the Unit you hunted in most and the
Unit you harvested an animal in if suc-
cessful.
• The total number of days hunted
(including mentoring youth), the num-
ber of days hunted in the WMU hunt-
ed most, and the number of days hunt-
ed in the WMU you harvested an ani-
mal in if successful.
Hunters who fail to report 2016 deer
or elk tags on time will be penalized
$25 when they purchase a 2018 hunt-
ing license.
This penalty is assessed once,
regardless of the number of unreported
tags.
As of Jan. 10, about 53 percent of

He came to our shelter
as a stray and he just

Lassie is a bonnie
8 yr. old lass - a
Scottish fold to be
exact. When Lassie
fi rst arrived it took
her awhile to get
comfortable and
decide she could
trust us. Now she gives us kittie kisses on our
hands. Lassie is a sweet girl that talks with a growl,
but don’t be fooled - that’s just her Scottish brogue.
