Question:
I will be hunting for deer and bear this year. I noticed that the tags ask for the distance and direction from the nearest landmark. I'm unsure as to what the nearest landmark is, and just what kind of landmark they are asking for. Can you please clarify?

Answer:
Harvest data, including the location where an animal is taken, is an important component of wildlife management. The geographic location helps biologists obtain specific location information so the more accurate you can be with distinguishing landmarks, the more helpful it is to managing our wildlife. There are many acceptable locations found on any map for your planned hunt area. Please just provide distance and direction to the nearest mountain, creek, river, city, town, campground or other landmark.
