Hunters have a shot at winning a special hunting permit if they report their hunting activities for black bear, deer, elk or turkey by Jan. 10.
Those who meet the deadline will be included in a drawing for one of the five deer permits and four elk permits valid from Sept. 1 through Dec. 31.
To qualify for the drawing, hunters must submit a report for each black bear, deer, elk or turkey tag they purchased and for each special hunting permit they received in 2013. Whether a hunter was successful or not, they are required to submit hunting reports by Jan. 31 or pay a $10 fine.
“If everyone waits until the last minute, it creates problems with reporting,” said Fish & Wildlife Game Manager Dave Ware in a news release.
