Ask Fish and Game

Q. Last year I stood in line for over an hour to get a leftover elk controlled hunt. By the time I got to the counter, the hunt I wanted was gone! Has Fish and Game done anything about making the process easier or more fair? A. Yes. This year leftover controlled hunts and any drawn controlled hunts that are not picked up by the deadline of August 1 will be put into a second draw. Look for a list of these hunts on August 2 or 3. If your favorite hunt has any permits left at that time you can apply for it at your local vendor, online, or by phone between August 5 and August 15. The controlled hunt application fee will be $6.00. Successful applicants for the second draw will be notified by August 25.
