TWRA has
announced a significant change in the statewide special season antlerless
deer and fall turkey quota hunts this year.
The statewide special season antlerless deer and fall turkey quota hunts
will become a first come, first served system, a shift from the
traditional drawn quota hunt. There will still be a quota for each hunt,
but instead of applying and being drawn or not drawn, hunters will be able
to get their permits immediately. Below are critical dates and information
about this change.
HOW TO GET A PERMIT:
1. YOUR RECEIPT IS YOUR PERMIT. You MUST have this receipt with you while
hunting.
2. Permits go on sale Aug. 19, 2009, at 8 a.m., CDT. You may buy your
permits at any TWRA license agent, TWRA regional office, or online at

regular office hours (8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. CDT).
3. Individuals may have up to two (2) deer permits and two (2) turkey
permits, but are eligible for only one (1) permit per hunt code.
4. You must review your permit receipt and verify that the name, address,
hunt locations, fees, etc., are correct.

5. There is no fee for current Annual Sportsman License holders, Lifetime
Sportsman License holders, or senior citizen hunters (Type 166) with an
Annual Senior Citizen Permit (Type 167). All others must pay a $20 permit
fee for each permit plus a $1 agent fee.
6. When buying your permits in person, you must remain until your permit
is processed to ensure that all your information is correct and to receive
your receipt with your confirmation number.
7. The system only allows one (1) permit per transaction.

permit fee for each permit purchased plus a $2 internet usage fee. (The $2
internet fee is collected by the company that maintains the internet site
