The annual
drawing for Antlerless Deer Permits was held July 25, 2006 at the R.C.
Mahar Regional High School in Orange. Selections were made based on last
digit of 2006 hunting or sporting licenses. The Antlerless Deer Permit
and its attached tag is required to take any antlerless deer during Massachusetts
deer hunting seasons. All applicants in Wildlife Management Zones (WMZ)
3, 7 through 11 and WMZ's 13 and 14 inclusive were selected as permit
allocations exceeded the number of applications received in those eight
WMZs. The results of the
complete drawing for all WMZ's.
If there
is match of the partial number, the number of randomly selected applicants
is indicated in the table of winning numbers. By mid-August, pink notification
cards will be sent to all successful applicants. Applicants not drawn
will receive a yellow reapplication card with the option to select another
WMZ where permits are still available. Due to a limited number of permits
available in certain WMZs, re-applicants should return their postcards
as soon as possible as their cards will be processed on a first-come,
first-served basis.
To ensure
permits are processed and delivered in time for the opening of the archery
deer season, all cards and accompanying $5 permit fee must be returned
to MassWildlife prior to September 3. Deer hunters who missed the application
process and wishing to purchase Antlerless Deer Permits in additional
WMZs may visit MassWildlife offices in Westboro, Pittsfield, Belchertown,
West Boylston, Acton and Bourne beginning October 10 to buy remaining
surplus permits.
