Generate PDF Harvest Report

Produces a printable PDF modeled on Oregon/Idaho furtaker harvest report layouts: trapper info header, species catch table with totals, trap-night summary, and signature line. PDF is built entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Note: This is a record-keeping aid. Always verify your state's official reporting requirements and submit the required form to your wildlife agency by the statutory deadline.

How it works

1. Enter trapper info — name, license number, season, and state. This appears in the PDF header.

2. Log each catch — date, species, count, sex, trap type, location/GPS, and disposition. All entries save automatically in your browser's localStorage so they persist between sessions.

3. Review totals — the Season Totals panel aggregates total animals by species and by trap type in real time.

4. Export PDF — click "Download PDF Report" to generate a printable document using pdf-lib (runs entirely in your browser). The PDF follows the columnar layout of Oregon and Idaho furtaker harvest report forms: a header block, a species-by-row table with a totals row, trap-night count, and a signature/date line for submission.

Trap nights = number of nights at least one trap was set. Many states require this figure on the official harvest report. Enter it before generating the PDF.

Frequently asked questions

What is a furtaker harvest report, and who has to file one?
A furtaker harvest report (also called a fur harvest report or trapper's report) is a mandatory annual form that licensed trappers submit to their state wildlife agency documenting every furbearer species caught, the number of animals, trap types used, and how the fur was disposed of. Oregon (ORS 497.312), Idaho, and most other western states require submission within 30–90 days after the close of the trapping season — even if the catch was zero. Failure to report typically results in license suspension the following year. This tool helps you track entries throughout the season so the final report is quick to complete.
What does "disposition" mean on a harvest report?
Disposition refers to what you did with the animal after it was caught. Common options include: kept the pelt for personal use, sold the pelt to a licensed fur buyer, donated the carcass, or destroyed the animal. Some states require you to note the fur-buyer's tag number or license if you sold the pelt. Oregon's furtaker report, for example, asks you to record both the catch and the final disposition to track legal fur trade channels. Record this accurately — it is the information most often audited by wildlife agents.
What are trap nights and how do I calculate them?
A trap night equals one trap set for one night. If you ran 5 traps for 10 nights, that is 50 trap nights. If you pulled half your traps mid-season, add the partial counts. Many state harvest reports (including Oregon's) require total trap nights as a measure of trapping effort, which wildlife managers use to estimate catch-per-unit-effort and adjust furbearer quotas. Enter the season total in the "Total Trap Nights" field before generating your PDF so it appears on the report.
Is my data private? Does it get sent anywhere?
All data is stored exclusively in your browser's localStorage. Nothing is transmitted to any server. The PDF is generated client-side using the pdf-lib library loaded from a CDN. You can verify this by opening your browser's Network tab — no POST requests are made when you add entries or generate a PDF. Clearing your browser data will erase saved entries, so download your PDF before doing so.
Can I use this PDF as the official state submission?
This tool produces a record that mirrors the layout and required fields of Oregon and Idaho furtaker harvest report forms, but it is not a state-issued official form and has not been certified by any wildlife agency. Use it as a working log throughout the season and as a reference when completing your state's official form. Some states now accept digital harvest reporting through their online portals (Oregon's My ODFW, Idaho's Fish & Wildlife iPortal), which is the fastest submission method. Always check your state agency's current instructions.
