Hunters have through May 18 to apply for special hunting permits for fall deer, elk, mountain goat, moose, bighorn sheep and turkey seasons in Washington.

Permit winners are selected through a random drawing conducted by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife in late June. The permits qualify hunters to hunt at times and places beyond those authorized by a general hunting license.

Applications may be purchased from license vendors statewide or on WDFW’s website at https://fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov/wdfw/special_permits.html.

Applications must be submitted on that website or call 877-945-3492.
