Ask Fish and Game

Q. Can I sign up now for depredation hunts that might happen this winter? A. Each year, hunters can sign up for depredation hunts from May 1 through June 30. Those who sign up are chosen at random. You can still sign up after June 30 but your name goes on the list of hunters available for depredation hunts after those who signed up first and it goes on the list in order of date. The rules on depredation hunts, where to send applications, and forms are on page 81 of the big game brochure.
