The Drawn Hunts program offers affordable hunting experiences throughout the state, including several Youth-Only hunt categories. Application fees cost $3 or $10, depending on the hunt category. Selected adult hunters may also need to pay a Special Permit fee of $80 for regular hunts and $130 for extended hunts. Some categories, such as the Youth-Only hunts, require no application fees or permit fees.
All hunt opportunities can be viewed by category or by area using an interactive map. The entire process is handled online—from browsing opportunities, to applications, fee payments and permit issuance. To participate, applicants will need internet access, an email address, and a credit or debit card. The Customer ID number from the applicant’s hunting or fishing license is one of the easy ways to access the system.
