Title: Deer area 2012-2017 second deer permits
Post by: RC on April 24, 2020, 08:57:50 AM: Thinking about putting in for one of these tags, but looking to find out how anybody elses experiences have been hunting these deer areas. I know it's pretty much all private, but curious how your experiences have been when asking for permission. Have landowners generally been receptive?

They e-mailed me a list and I got on the phone with the farmers about August. When I showed up to hunt I introduced myself. From there I asked the farmers if they knew of any body else that would let you hunt. Long story short I became friends with a couple of them and it took off from there.

43 bucks? Oh the horror, for the cost of a decent meal at a restaurant you can go kill another deer.

I remember that.... it was previously like $21 and they jacked it up to $68 and claimed hunters asked for it. Then later it dropped to $40 ish.
