Where every number comes from

Every figure is the state's own published number, shown with its year. Nothing is modeled or filled in.

How a success rate is computed

Success rate = animals harvested ÷ hunters afield, for the year and unit shown. The All column uses every animal of the species. Bull and Buck use antlered animals only — for elk, branch-antlered bulls, with spikes counted separately. 6+ pt and 4+ pt use the top point-class tier. The denominator is always total hunters afield. Montana and Idaho don't publish hunter counts by the animal hunters were after, and CPW publishes antlered and antlerless hunter counts only for some seasons and leaves out either-sex licenses. In Colorado, elk Bulls and deer Bucks are CPW's bull and buck counts, which CPW doesn't split by antler points, so spikes aren't counted separately. Colorado Bucks for pronghorn are CPW's buck counts. In Wyoming, Bulls are WGFD's bull counts, which leave out spikes; spikes have their own rate. Wyoming Bucks for antelope are WGFD's buck counts. In Montana, Bucks for antelope are FWP's buck counts.

What “not published” means

Montana surveys deer hunters in odd years and elk hunters in even years, and FWP counts antelope hunters by district in even years (its statewide antelope rows have hunters every year), so half of all district-years have no hunter count by design. Idaho does not publish point-class data for every unit. When a figure does not exist, the cell says so; the site never fills a gap with a number the state didn't publish.

Refresh schedule

Harvest data is updated when each state publishes its annual report, typically spring. Regulations are updated for each new season.
