Any hunters out there who missed out on drawing a Wildlife Management Area permit this year may still have an opportunity to get their hands on one of the more than 6,000 unclaimed permits available at certain Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Offices statewide.
The permits became available Oct. 11 and include some of the most coveted hunting areas, according to a release from the AFGC.
“Typically, we have about 3,000 leftovers available,” said Ashley Bean, AGFC permit program coordinator. “This year, we had almost the same number of applicants, but they were focused only on a few hunts, leaving many unclaimed permits throughout the state.”
