Special Permit Applications

[matt345]

Do we have to wait until the new regs are out to apply for any special hunts?? I went into the online system today and did not see it available.

Yeah you have to wait for the regs at least to be on line so you can see what permits are available.

Ok

Can anybody estimate when the due date is?  We're submitting a group application and one guy is leaving the country for a month.  Trying to figure out if we do it before he leave or when he comes home.

Last years due date was May 18 if I remember right.

[fair-chase]

They are supposed to be online by the end of this week.

what about in stores?

I would guess by this Saturday.

Website says regs available online April 18th and in stores the 27th. Application submittal period is the same as last year

So if I already got my tags can I still enter for a special permit draw?

Yes but you will need to buy applications for categories now.
