2006 WMA Pheasant Permit Holder Activity and Harvest

The numbers in the tables below have been adjusted to reflect hunters who hunted more than one WMA. The totals for each region and statewide reflect the number of hunters who hunted in the region and total hunters statewide. However, the number of hunters for each WMA, if added up, will be higher than the regional total because it includes hunters who used more than one WMA. For example, a person who hunted Fort Boise and C.J. Strike is counted in each WMA total but is only counted once in the regional and statewide totals. This also is reflected in the averages for hunter days and hunter harvest.

Note: Montour harvest and regional averages will be posted at a later date after further analysis.
