In the past, reports on deer harvest were done by survey. From 1980 to 2010, ADF&G mailed surveys to around 35 percent of deer hunters, asking them if any deer had been harvested in the past year. A large majority of respondents provided an official harvest record.
Your Confirmation Number (CID), as well as your full name, must be provided when reporting your deer harvest. These details should be noted on your license, permit, and deer tags.

How many Americans rely on hunting for their livelihood?
There are more than 300,000,000 hunters in America. That means there are nearly twice as many hunters as people living in New York City.
Hunting is a American pastime that has existed for hundreds of years. But, Americans are hunting less for sport today than ever. According to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service(FWS) says that only 2 per cent of the population hunts on a regular basis. The percentage of young adults hunting is even lower.
Hunting may seem outdated, but it is still very popular with older generations. According to a recent survey, 68 percent of boomers intend to hunt again after they retire. For them, hunting is a way to connect with nature and enjoy the outdoors.
For younger generations, however, hunting isn't necessarily a priority. According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), only 18% consider themselves to be avid shooters.
FWS is determined to keep America's wild spaces open to everyone.
The agency launched "Wild Lands", a campaign to raise awareness of public lands across the nation in 2014. This campaign aims to inform people about the importance and encourage people to visit these areas.
The Wild Lands program also encourages conservation efforts. FWS and National Rifle Association have partnered to create Project Gunter, a youth shooting sport program. This program teaches kids how firearms can be safely handled and helps them to develop skills such safety and marksmanship.
Project Gunter is expanding to include minorities and women. This has led to more children learning how to use guns and becoming active participants in wildlife conservation.

How can I teach my son hunting?
This is a very common problem. Many parents want their kids to learn how to shoot guns, but they do not know where to start.

You must immediately take him to the hospital if he accidentally shoots yourself.
Next is to show him how different weapons work. This includes airguns or shotguns. So that your child can pick the right weapon for him, he should be able to understand how they work. When choosing a weapon, you should consider its size, weight, accuracy, and power. A.22 caliber rifle would make a great starter rifle. It is easy to handle and powerful enough for pests such squirrels to be killed. The 12 gauge shotgun on the other side is comfortable enough to carry for adults, but still has plenty of power to kill animal. Airguns are quiet, easy to operate, and are great for kids who are just starting to learn how to shoot.
Now, you can help your child practice shooting at targets. He should try out different positions and angles to see which works best for him. You should also make certain that he knows how to clean and maintain his weapon properly.
After your child has learned the basics, it's time to move on to hunting. There are many options to show your child how hunting works. Let him out in the wild with you. Another option is to purchase a gun at a shop and teach your child how to load and unload it. Another option is to buy a dog to teach your child how to train it. Dogs are great because they follow commands easily and obey quickly. Dogs are fun to play with, and they can even become best friends with your child.
If none of the above methods appeal to you, then you could hire someone to teach your children. This method, however, is costly and requires a lot babysitting.
