Deer lottery deadline approaching (2005-09-06)

The application deadline for special hunts and either-sex deer permits is Sept. 8. Hunters who want to obtain an either-sex permit in a lottery area or wish to hunt in a firearms or muzzleloader special hunt need to purchase their license and apply before the deadline.

"While most either-sex permits will be available over the counter this year, there are areas of the state that you still need to apply," said Lou Cornicelli, DNR big game coordinator. Maps that show the locations of lottery, managed and intensive permit areas can be found as a supplement to the 2005 Hunting Regulations Handbook.

For the third year, either-sex permits will be available throughout Zone 3A (Nov. 5-11) in southeast Minnesota. Hunters who are interested in harvesting antlerless deer during that season need to purchase their deer license on or before Sept. 8. The exceptions are permit areas 346 and 349, which will allow the taking of either-sex deer without making a lottery application.

Cornicelli also said there is no cost to apply and the permit is free. All a hunter needs to do is purchase their license by Sept. 8.

Licenses can be purchased at over 1,800 ELS agents, on the DNR Web site at www.dnr.state.mn.us or by phone at 1-888-665-4236.
