Antlerless deer permits are issued by lottery in designated permit areas. Some areas that have not been in the lottery classification in recent years are in that classification this year, primarily as a result of new deer population goals. Hunters should review the hunting and trapping regulation book now, said Leslie McInenly, big game program leader with the DNR. The lottery applies to over half of the state permit areas this year, and it s important to start August 2015 planning for the season. Hunters who want to participate in special firearm deer hunts also need to apply for permits that are issued by lottery, and the application deadline is Sept. 10. More information on deer permit areas and special hunts is in the DNR hunting regulations handbook, found online at deer.
