Want to know how many wild critters we’ve harvested?

The Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife now offers, on their website, an opportunity for you to learn how many big game animals we have harvested has the seasons progress.

This data is updated daily, and you can see the information here:

This information is also available on the department’s website in a couple of places. This is great. I’ve been enjoying checking out the turkey harvest, which has not been good so far.

DIFW’s Nate Webb, who alerted us to this, said, “I want to thank Jason Czapiga (Habitat Group, Bangor) for developing the dashboard, as well as all of the many staff that have contributed to making the web-based registration system a huge success!”
