The department is asking for an increase in antlerless permits saying a growing herd requires more population control, which, if passed, would provide lots of opportunities for hunters -- particularly muzzleloader hunters.
The recommendation was passed by the board. There will be two more votes in coming monthly meetings. If approved, the permits would be available in late June or early July with an entry deadline of Aug. 24.
The initial idea, however, is to offer 11,050 muzzleloader permits for antlerless deer with the intention of kill 5,380 deer. That's 1,900 more permits than 2006 when hunters killed 4,877 deer.
More on this as I get a better handle on just what is proposed.
