Deadline for Black Bear Hunting Permit Lottery-cnbnews.net
Thursday, October 13, 2011
The NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife reminds hunters that the black bear hunting permit lottery application period ends 11:59 p.m on October 15. Application for permits can be made online atwww.nj.wildlifelicense.com or at license agents.
There will be two lotteries this year; an initial permit lottery and a secondary/leftover permit lottery. Black bear hunters have the option of applying for a second permit in the secondary/leftover permit lottery, however the second application can not be for the same black bear hunting area. Only two applications may be submitted per individual: one application for the initial permit lottery and if desired, one application for a different bear management area for the secondary/leftover permit lottery. Only one bear may be taken, regardless of the number of permits one possesses.
