Guest Permit Information

Each non-transferable General Gun, Archery, Muzzleloading, Wild Hog, Mobility Impaired, or Spring Turkey Quota Permit allows the issuance of one guest permit.  The guest may accompany the quota permit holder and participate on his or her permitted hunt.  See requirements and restrictions below for details.  Guest permits are not available for daily permits issued at the check stations, for Blackwater General Gun Dog Hunt Area, or for Holton Creek Mobility Impaired Hunts. 

• Cost: $0.00
• Requirements: The quota permit holder must pick up their quota permit before a guest permit can be issued.
• Exemptions: On those areas that allow exemptions, guest permits are not available for exempt hunters (under 16, over 65, disability license holders) who are allowed to hunt on the area without a quota permit.
• Restrictions:
  • Only one guest permit per quota permit may be issued and the guest must have a management area permit (or a license that includes a management area permit) to apply unless the guest is exempt from purchasing licenses and permits.
  • A non-transferable quota permit holder may only bring one additional person to hunt with them at a time. A quest permit is not required to bring either one youth under 16 years of age, one mentor license holder (their hunting license indicates "Hunter Safety Deferral"), one mentor license supervisor (if your hunting license indicates "Hunter Safety Deferral"), or one non-hunting supervisor if you are under 16 and you hold a quota permit. If you bring one of the above, you are not allowed to bring a guest permit holder.
  • An individual may be the guest of only one quota permit holder per hunt.
  • You and your guest must share the same vehicle and you must enter and exit the area together.
  • Your guest may hunt only when you are present on the area and, where zones apply, the two of you must hunt in the same zone.
  • You and your guest must share a single bag limit, and you (the quota permit holder) are responsible for making sure that the shared bag limit is not exceeded.
  • If you choose to obtain a guest permit, you will need to provide your Customer ID number and the hunt number to your guest or you may obtain the guest permit if you have the guest's Customer ID number and Date of Birth.
• Transferability: These permits are NOT transferable.  Because these permits are not transferable and cannot be changed once issued, it is suggested that you wait to obtain your guest permit until just before the hunt.
• Replacements: You can replace lost or destroyed permits online (choose "Limited Entry/Quota Permits and Applications"), at a license agent, or tax collector office for about $2.
• How to Get Your Permit: You can get your permit online (choose “Limited Entry/Quota Permits and Applications”) or complete the application worksheet (click Application Worksheetbutton at bottom of page) and present it to any license agent or tax collector office.  If you get your permit at a license agent or tax collector office, the clerk will provide you with your permit. If you choose to purchase your permit online, be sure you have access to a printer so that you can print your permit directly from the website. View the print your permit page for instructions and frequently asked questions on how to print directly from the website.
• Warning: If you access you permit online; it cannot be printed by the tax collector or license agent.   If you choose to pick up your permit online, be sure you have access to a printer so that you can print your permit directly from the website. If you access the permit without saving it or printing it, it will be available in your customer account (see “Previously Purchased Reprintable Licenses” at the top of your customer information) and you will have 5 days to print or reprint your permit.  After 5 days you will need to obtain a replacement for $2.50.  Replacements may be obtained from any license agent, tax collectors office or online.
