    Killing a Nilgai is work. Heath is the shooter. Bring a sharp knife

      Attention Hunters:
      Due to the overwhelming interest in the April Emergency Exotic Hunts, we have changed the permit selection process. To prevent dangerous overcrowding, potential conflict, and traffic hazards, the Laguna Atascosa NWR is NOT allocating hunt permits on a “first-come-first-serve” basis. The April hunt permits will be allocated through a local lottery. To apply and qualify for a permit, interested hunters or their proxy must drop off applications (in person) between 8 am and 11 am on March 5th, 2018. No applications will be accepted through the mail, fax, or email. Applicants can choose to wait for the drawing which will take place at 11:30 am at the Refuge Headquarters. Although, applicants WILL NOT be required to be present for the drawing to receive a permit, selected hunters will be required to pay for their permit (by cash only) by 3 pm (CST) on Wednesday, March 7th, 2018. Thank you for your interest in Laguna Atascosa NWR big game hunts, please spread the word about this important change, and call 956-748-3607 x105 with concerns or questions.

                    I already blocked the day out to make the drive down to pick up a permit. Now that it is a draw, I’m not sure if it will be worth the drive. Every “proxy” will be carrying 20 applications. It will be interesting to see if they draw applications individually or in proxy groups.

                      Just educated WAG, but I would think they will draw individually.

                        I hope everyone has luck in getting drawn and hunting

                        I never was extremely optimistic that the permits would be available to anyone willing to help a handicapped person! Now the odds are really stacked against them

                          think i would elevate the question to higher ups about that.

                            In the comments of the FB post thy said only one application per person could be turned in and it could have up to 3 people listed on it.

                              Say I have a group of three.. could we each list the others and have 3x the chances of getting drawn?
