Harvest returns

After each public land hunt, you will be required to submit a harvest return, even if you did not see or did not harvest any animals.

Harvest returns provide useful information about the success of public land hunting, how hunters are helping in the control and management of pest species and are used to compile species reports that tell hunters which species may be present in each forest.

When you are completing your harvest return, it is important to report the results of your hunt honestly. The success of public land hunting and various private land management programs depends on the NSW DPI receiving factual information. Without it, it is difficult to demonstrate the important role hunters play in pest and wildlife management.
