Title: Game Harvest Reports
Post by: HUNT on March 23, 2010, 11:17:57 AM: Does anyone know when the game harvest reports for 2009 will be available? I would think anytime now but they still arent out.

The general season report usually comes out a couple months later, and it's almost useless anyway, now that they don't give you the "number of hunters" and the "success rate" data.
