Big game hunters must call in reports

October 20, 2016

By Mike Demick Conservation Information Supervisor Fish and Game's online hunter reports have unfortunately been a casualty of the data breach of our online vendor's database, but hunters can still file their reports by calling the toll-free number at (877) 268-9365. Reporting is quick and easy, and when you file your report, you give critical hunt and harvest information, which directly affects decisions about next year’s hunting seasons. Every person who purchased a license and big game tag this year is asked to file a report, even if they did not go hunting. Fish and Game discontinued online sales on August 24 after being informed by Active Network, the Texas-based company that its database was breached. Fish and Game officials said online sales will not resume until a third-party cybersecurity firm completes an investigation and certifies that the system is secure. When that happens, online hunter reports will also resume.
