Sweet 16 permit reminder....

Post by Brent Bryant »

Don't forget that you'll need the free Sweet 16 permit to hunt some of the WMAs. (Since it's free, go ahead and select all WMA's when you apply.) Also, the OOS'ers (out-of-staters) will need to get a non-resident WMA permit prior to hunting, either the $25 5-day permit that can be purchased online or by phone anytime before your hunt (even on the drive to the boat ramp), or the $100 season long permit. Generally, it'll be cheaper for most of you to just spend $25 as you go, but you can determine that for yourself.

I've pasted info from the Game and Fish website below, but highlights are that in addition to your non-resident hunting license, state and federal stamps, you'll need to be HIP registered to hunt AR, along with your non-resident WMA and Sweet 16 permits if you are going to hunt the WMA. Also, you might as well get your snow goose conservation license while you're doing all of this since it, too, is free and it will already be done if there is any chance you'll hunt snow geese with us during the conservation season.

The hyperlinks to apply didn't come through below, but here is the link to the page with the links that work: http://www.agfc.com/licenses/Pages/LicensesFAQs.aspx
