YL JOB COMPLETION REPORT INVESTIGATIONS PROJECT STATE OF Wyoming NAME: Big and Trophy Game and Wild Bison Harvest Surveys PROJECT N. W-27-R-43 PREPARED BY: Emily Gates, Harvest Survey Coordinator; Gail Sheridan, Harvest Survey Coordinator (Retired); Tim Wooley, Statewide Wildlife and Habitat Management Supervisor; Bob Lanka, Statewide Wildlife and Habitat Management Supervisor (Retired) PROJECT OBJECTIVE NO. 1 JOB NO. 1 PERIOD COVERED: July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018 ABSTRACT: This report contains harvest survey results for the 2017-2018 big and trophy game and wild bison hunting seasons. In general, harvest and hunting activity estimates for all big game (antelope, mule deer, white- tailed deer, elk, moose, bighorn sheep and mountain goat) and trophy game (black bear, gray wolf and mountain lion) were obtained by sampling licensed hunters via emailed and mailed questionnaires. Respondents could reply via a web based survey, call the Harvest Survey Coordinator or return a completed hard copy survey via the USPS. Wild bison results were obtained through mandatory license holder reporting. Bighorn sheep and mountain goat results were obtained through mandatory harvest registration then individual contact for unsuccessful hunters. OBJECTIVES: 1. To determine the 2017 big and trophy game and wild bison harvest. 2. To determine the number of active hunters, days spent hunting, the number of days required to harvest an animal, and the percent of hunter success during 2017 hunting seasons. PROCEDURES: The 2017 antelope, mule deer, white-tailed deer and elk harvest surveys were conducted by Tetra Tech, Inc., through a contract with the Department. A sample pool was created by randomly selecting license holders. Those in the sample pool that offered an email address during the license purchase process were sent a message with a link to the internet site Tetra Tech established for this purpose. Those with only a USPS mailing address were sent a postcard with instructions for accessing the internet site. Those that did not respond online were also sent a hardcopy survey followed, if necessary, with reminder email messages and postcards. In those instances where the required license type sample size was not obtained, Tetra Tech followed up with phone calls to specific license holders in a final attempt to meet sample size requirements. This report contains tables showing useable responses and sample size results. In general, a stratified systematic random sample was drawn from holders of antelope, deer and elk licenses. Limited quota license holders were stratified by residency, hunt area(s), and license type, or nonresident deer region in which their licenses were valid. Resident general deer and elk license holders were stratified as those who obtained their license through the license draw or by the county in which their licenses were purchased. Nonresident general elk licenses were all issued through the license draw. Antelope, deer and elk license holder samples adequate to meet survey objectives and contract requirements for accuracy and precision for both resident and nonresident hunters were drawn from license data, and included both general and limited quota license types. Big game harvest estimates were made for each license type valid within a hunt area and for each herd unit within the state. Herd units are populations of animals consisting of one or more hunt areas. Harvest for a herd unit was determined by combining harvest estimates from

It dictated the functioning of the prairie ecosystem as well as the functioning of human culture for almost 10,000 years. Over the course of one generation, the animal, the ecosystem, and the human culture were nearly exterminated. Today, the bison is a symbol of the capacity for human destruction but also our efforts to preserve and restore.
