    WHAT STATE LET'S YOU TAKE THE MOST DEER
    
    
    THANKS ANDY

    
    Andy I'm not sure but I believe it's Alabama or Georgia some southern
    state though.
    
    
    Walt 

seems Alabama lets you take one a day (like vitimins) for what seems like
most of the year...

hell, let me take 1 deer a day and i won't ever need vitimins!! :^)

Fra

    Fra,	
    
    I think you are right about "1 a day in Alabama".  I think you can only
    have 5 in possession though.  Of course I have never had 5 in
    possession, so I don't think that would be a problem.  It would be fun
    to try though.

When I was in Alaska in the mid 70's I was told it was 1-A-Day for deer as well.

Along with 1 moose a year, a couple of caribu, a bear and a partridge 
in-a-pear-tree.....plus ya get to live in Alaska!

Hummm...where can I get a copy of the Anchorage Times?

d.t.
 

 

    You might want to try coastal South Carolina on private land there are
    no limits. And today is opening Day Close of season is Jan 2.

    	Damn, I submitted two apps for doe permits in zone 1.
    
    ed

    I was down at the Wal_mart in Hudson,MA last saturday. They
    had 4 carriages with tons of knapsacks in them all for 50% off.
    There was one there that was called "Hikers H20". It was a 
    fanny pack that had 2 plastic squeeze water bottles, each of which
    fit into it's own insulated pocket. The pack itself wasn't very
    large, maybe 10"x6"x3", so you couldn't carry alot of stuff
    but for scouting and one day trips you can't beat it. The best part
    was the price, marked down from $30 to $12.50 then half of that,
    so it cost only $6.25. I bought two of them. They had black, green,
    blue and had 10 or so left but hurry if you want one they may go
    quick. The carriages are right where the registers are.

    Ed, I don't know a definite date but last year they were drawn 
    on 9/28, so I would assume they would do them again around the 
    same time this year. I will keep an eye out for the date tho.

    Thanks Walt.

    I called F&G today and the drawing will be on 9/27. The results will be
    available on 9/28.

    DOES ANY ONE KNOW WHERE THE DRAWING IS GOING TO BE HELD
    
    
    
    THANKS ANDY

    
    They did tell me but I didn't write it down. It was going to be at a
    Fish & Game Club and it may even be the same one they used last year.

thanks Guy...

someone rattled them off to me over the phone and I was writing like a 
madman...

best of luck to everyone,  Fra

    Apparently anyone who applied GOT the permit for Zone 10???
    
    Is that a result of too few applications or too many deer?
    
    Dan L.

    
    Zones 10,12,13, & 14 ALL applications were filled. 
    
        The F&G really doesn't say why (many deer or little applicants) that
    those zones all who applied get permits. I do know from experience that
    finding good places to hunt in Zone 10 usually requires getting permission
    from a land owner as a lot of towns are instituting that ruling or taking 
    your chances at a crowded State Forest.
    
        Also F&G said the permits would be mailed out about Mid-October.
    
    
                                                        Guy

    
    Did everyone start receiving their permits yet? My brother (Rick) got 
    his yesterday (10/24) and I got mine today (10/25).
    
                                                            Guy

    
    
          Re .1
    
               I got my permit in the mail yesterday.  Last night,
          I went to the orintation class for the Quabbin hunt as 
          well.  If I don't get a deer this year...  I don't know 
          what I'll do....

    Yup, got mine and sent it back already. remember they have to be
    back (postmarked) by Nov.1
    
    Walt

    
    Anyone know when the MA doe permit app's have to be in? I havent
    even bought my license yet so I'm wondering if I need to run out
    today and get one or not. 
    
    
    Thanks
    Walt

    I want to say that August 15th is the deadline.  I sent mine in awhile
    ago though, so I can't say for sure...
    
    -John

august 15th is correct...

    
    Thanks guys, I'm off to Wal_mart to get my license....
    
    
    Walt

    
    According to the flunky at wal mart, as of July 1, 1996 you must now
    present the previous years license or a hunter ed certificate in
    order to purchase a hunting license. I know this law was in the works
    but did not know it passed and had neither the license or cerificate
    with me. So with a few choice words for the manager I left empty
    handed. The 1st flunky had been giving them out and actually had mine
    all filled out and was within 1 minute of giving it to me when the
    manager came up and stopped him. GGRRR! Well off to the town hall then
    the post office after work.
    
    Walt

    Per this morning's W T&G anterless applications received are way under the
    available supply at this time. This has the F&G puzzled as to why there are
    ~7 thousand fewer applicants than the number of permits to be issued -
    especially given that they are going to provide a 2nd chance for those
    denied in their requested zone to apply for an alternate. The deadline
    is 8/15 for the first round, I forget what the re-application process
    specifics are but it has something to do with permits which remain
    after the usual zone drawing. I've yet to make the cut in the 20 years
    I've applied - hope this will break my streak! 

    So far only 24,000 received for the 32,675 available permits. In prior
    years the average # applicants was about 40,000.
    

    
    I sent mine in today, finally. I spent 3 hours looking for a hunting
    license yesterday. Town hall in clinton was closed, tackle annex in 
    hudson dont sell them, neither does wal mart in hudson. Ended up driving 
    out to K-mart in Leominster to get it. two guys in line ahead of me tried 
    to buy thiers. No hunters ed certificate and no last years license. They
    were not amused. You would think that the F&W floks or someone would
    have tried to get the word out about the new law. many people dont
    know about it and i think that along with the higher prices is causing
    folks to say no to hunting. I know I did not buy a fishing license
    this year and wont next year either because of the price. I dont like
    to fish that much but my 4 year old does so I take him and one rod.
    I actually have more fun fishing with him than without him 8')
    Anyway it looks good for those of us who will apply for the permits.
