Special Area Deer Management Zones
  • Special Areas include federal military installations, certain state and county parks and national wildlife refuges.
  • Select zones have specific qualifying criteria which hunters must meet before obtaining a permit. Certain zones are not open to the public. It is the hunter's responsibility to ensure property access prior to applying for or purchasing a permit.
  • There will be no lottery for Special Area Permits this year. This is in response to a decrease in the demand for these permits and an increase in the number of complaints from prospective hunters who participate in these hunts. Permits will be available for al imited time ona first-come, first-served basis. Removing the lottery will streamline the process, making it more convenient for all hunters. Hunters will know immediately whether or not they will receive a permit. NOTE: It is the hunters responsibility to pay attention to all deadlines. Exceptions cannot be made.


    • Special Area Huntings Seasons may have regulations which differ from the statewide regulations.
