Nearly 600 leftover deer hunt permits for Arkansas wildlife management areas are available for purchase.
These permits cover youth, modern gun, muzzle-loader and mobility-impaired hunts that did not have enough applicants for the amount of permits available during the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission's annual wildlife management area deer permit drawing earlier this month.
Each permit will be sold for $5. A hunter may purchase one permit for each of the remaining management area permit hunts. There is no limit to the number of permits a person may buy.
The leftover permit sale is on a first-come, first-served basis, and the purchase may be made online (www.agfc.com, click "Buy Licenses/Check Game" on the upper right side of the website).
