USFS to offer deer permits The U.S. Forest Service is offering a limited number of permits to hunt antlerless deer during the general season Nov. 1, 2008 through Jan. 4, 2009. Youth participating in the general season public hunts by special permit must apply for "youth only permits" if they are between the ages of 8 and 16 at the time of application. The words "youth only permit" must be on the application, along with applicant's 2008-2009 hunting license number and specific hunting area. Hunters are selected by random drawing and only one application per person will be accepted. A drawing will be held in mid-October to select a limited number of permits. Only those chosen will be notified. Permit availability, areas of issuance and application instructions can be obtained from the Forest Supervisor's office in Lufkin....I know things always seem different in Texas, but the USFS issuing hunting permits? Can one of you readers explain this?
