Tagged or Collared Animals

To better manage our resources, certain species of big game are being monitored and may be tagged or wearing a radio collar. Although it is not illegal to shoot them, please try to avoid shooting these animals when possible. If an animal taken is wearing a radio collar or ear tag, we ask that you return these to the local Renewable Resource Officer.

We ask that you report any sightings to the nearest Renewable Resource Officer, giving them any information they may require such as the condition of the animal, location, etc. For a list of animals currently being studied, please check with a Renewable Resource Officer prior to your hunt.

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources may request a small tissue or hide sample from harvested wildlife in some areas. Your cooperation is appreciated while these studies are being conducted
