The Division of Wildlife Resources reminds hunters to submit mandatory harvest report

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — The Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) is reminding big game and swan hunters to submit their mandatory harvest report.

Harvest surveys are required for all limited-entry big game hunts and tundra swan hunts in Utah.

Big game hunts

According to the DWR, harvest reporting requirements apply to the following general-season hunts:

  • Dedicated hunter buck deer
  • Youth general-season buck deer
  • General-season archery elk
  • Spike bull elk
  • Multi-season spike bull elk
  • Any bull elk
  • Youth general-season elk

After their hunting season ends, the DWR said that big game permit holders have 30 days to report the results of their hunt, and that “anyone who doesn’t report will be excluded from the following year’s big game and antlerless applications. Anyone who reports their information late will be required to pay a fee of $50 to be eligible for the following year’s big game and antlerless applications.”

Swan hunts

The DWR shared that swan hunters are required to check in their swan at a DWR office within 72 hours of harvesting.

Harvest reports must be submitted within 30 days of the end of the hunt or by Jan. 13, 2026.  The DWR shared that anyone who fails to report will be excluded from the following year’s tundra swan application.
