QUOTA HUNT APPLICATION TIME
Fall deer seasons are a long way off but it’s time to begin the process of
quota hunt applications.
Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency has announced the application period
for the 2014 Wildlife Management Area Big Game Quota Hunts, the regular
elk, youth elk, and WMA Youth is now in progress and runs through July 23.
The elk and youth elk hunt application period was moved last year to
coincide with the application period for the other WMA/Youth Big Game
Quota Hunts. Entries must be submitted before midnight July 23.
The WMA hunting instruction sheet lists locations and dates for each of
the quota hunts along with drawing rules and regulations. Instruction
sheets can be obtained and applications made for the hunts at any TWRA
license agent, TWRA regional office or online at the TWRA website,
www.tnwildlife.org. Mailed instruction sheets will not be processed into
the drawing system.
There is no fee for current Annual Sportsman License holders, Lifetime
Sportsman License holders, or seniors possessing a Type 167 permit in
addition to their permanent senior citizen license. For all other
applicants, there is a non-refundable $10 permit fee for each drawing
entered. There is a $1 agent fee for applications made at a license agent.
When applying at a license agent, hunters must remain at the location
while the application is processed to verify the information is correct on
the receipt.
For applications made on the internet, there is a $2 internet usage fee.
An internet application is not complete until the applicant gets a
Temporary Authorization Number, which is found on the Purchase
Confirmation page. If entering multiple quota hunts, a person must pay the
permit and agent fee(s) for each quota hunt application submitted.
The WMA (elk hunts excluded) priority point system gives a priority point
for each year a hunter participates (this year a maximum of nine) without
being successful for a hunt. Applicants drawn for a hunt last year will
start over with a priority of zero.
After all the drawings are conducted, leftover permits will be sold
on-line, on a first-come, first-serve basis beginning Aug. 28 at 8 a.m.
The state’s sixth elk hunt will be held Oct. 20-24, 2014 at the North
Cumberland WMA. As in the previous hunts, five individuals will be
selected to participate. Four of the participants will be selected through
a computer drawing conducted by the TWRA. The fifth participant will be
the recipient of a permit that is donated to a Non-Governmental
Organization, which will be announced at a later date. That permit will be
auctioned with proceeds going to the elk program.
For the third year, a Young Sportsman Elk Hunt will be held Oct. 25-26.
Those applying must be ages 13-16 years old at the time of the hunt. Youth
who submit an application for the regular elk quota hunt are not permitted
to apply for the youth elk hunt.
