Mandatory hunt reporting......

TheRogue · 09-10-2007, 07:04 PM

Just finished my hunt reporting online for Nevada Dept. of Wildlife. It was so easy, logged in using some information off my tags/licenses, entered my harvest data, and clicked OK, simple as that.

Absolutely no reason that can't be done here in Oregon. We're all in a master database. Just report the days hunted, the harvest(or lack of), and unit you harvested it in. IMHO, the more real information the bio's get, the better job they can do. Add in some penalty for not reporting, and we've got a good system like other states.

Agree/disagree???

They are doing it in Oregon. the system is not up yet but you have to do it before next year applications.

Brian, hadn't seen that yet....

Yup, page 63 in the regs!! Cool.....hopefully they will get the internet portion of that working soon.

Thanks.

I have no problems with it. Wheels.

add a super tag for all on time reports, like idaho has and i'll agree

Us sportspeople have been asking for this for years. I thought I heard they were postponing the reporting because of all the problems they are having with the new system.

Is it just me, or do you guys find it strange that they are having so much problems when this type of system has been around for a while in other states?

It's about time ODFW and got something like this in place. I'm sure ODFW will try and reinvent the wheel and keep fixing it until it's broke. They did the same thing with the new *** system. Can't know why they don't leverage off of the other states who have worked through the software bugs.

Good idea,But will take some time to get bugs out as with anything to do with ODFW.

As an employee of a government agency, its one of the most frustrating things in the world that I see all the time. There's this attitude, from city government all the way through the White House, that any new project requires re-inventing the wheel.

blackdog · 09-11-2007, 05:56 AM

How about they work on online applications while they're at it???? Just about the only western state without an online process for applying every year. Is the ODFW making an effort to be behind the times?

I was glancing at Idaho's reporting system last night. It looks like they give you ten days from the end of the season to report, or ten days from when you fill the tag. This can be done online or with the use of a phone system.

TheRogue · 09-11-2007, 06:58 AM

Nevada's the same way, short time period after the end of the hunt, multiple reporting ways available.

Chesapeake · 09-11-2007, 07:47 AM

Us folks across the river have bean reporting for a few years. We can report by phone or online, and they have a special tag drawing for those that report within a given time frame.

Back when I was going to college, I hunted in North Carolina. Season ran from Oct. 15th to Dec. 31st. 6 deer limit, 2 had to be does. All deer had to be reported. They had a hotline # 1-800-I-GOT-ONE.
Growing up on the east coast, (Ma.) we had to bring our deer to an official check station within 24 hours of the kill. They tagged and aged your deer and then gave you your additional tag. Seems like the online thing or phone hotline would work great.

Long over due although this year we got a notice in the mail they are doing a study in the Fort Rock area and they want the teeth sent in which I will be more than happy to do..First time they have asked for this info during a buck hunt.

They requested teeth from Paulina last year as well, found out that the little fork that i shot was 1 year old, i think i just got the card back a couple of weeks ago.

They also tagged some bucks with radio collars so if you shoot one with a collar and turn it in they will give you the history of it. I think that would be kind of neat..
