Now’s the time
If you didn’t realize today was the day to get your antlerless applications to the county’s treasurer, a quick trip to a locals sporting goods store over the weekend would have been an easy reminder. With a day’s worth of rain on Saturday, I decided to hit up some of my favorite local spots to check out some of the latest gear and see if I could convince my wife I needed to take some of it home.
Everywhere I went, one thing was obvious — the line extending from the hunting license counter. Last-minute shoppers were getting their back tags and stuffing those precious pink envelopes into the mail (along with a check for $6.70) in hopes of getting a tag before they run out. One fellow said he was in line for over a half hour.
If you didn’t get your application in just yet, chances are, you’ve still got time. In some of the tighter management units like 2G, where there are just 9,000 tags left, you’d better get in gear. But here at home, unit 5B, last look shows some 50,285 tags available. It’s more than enough for a few weeks worth of procrastinators.
