Resident Gratis & Nonresident Landowner Licenses
Gratis permits are available to resident landowners who farm or ranch a minimum of 160 acres. When applying, the landowner must list the land descriptions on the application. Nonresident Landowner Deer Licenses are available to nonresidents owning at least 160 acres. The license, which costs $220, allows the nonresident landowner to hunt the lands listed on the license. Cost of the license includes a Fishing, Hunting, Furbearer Certificate, $2; General Game and Habitat License, $13; and a non-refundable $5 application fee.
If I transfer my gratis eligibility to a family member am I eligible to get another gratis permit on some other land? No. You may either receive a gratis permit or transfer it to an immediate family member. You may not do both.
Who is eligible for a gratis permit on rented land, the renter or landowner? The landowner has first claim. In no case is more than one gratis permit issued for the same land. This detail should be worked out between the landowner and lessee.
May I get a gratis permit and later buy a second, third, or fourth deer permit, if they are available? Yes. However, if it is a second, third, or fourth season license, you may take an antlerless deer only.
How many gratis permits may I receive for the year? State law limits a landowner to one gratis permit a year. You may use that license in any open season, providing you use the appropriate weapon and stay on your land within the unit listed on your tag. If you use the license during the muzzle-loader season, you are restricted to white-tailed deer only.
May a husband and wife jointly owning two quarters (320 acres) of land each receive a gratis permit? Each is eligible, if they are both listed as record title owners of the land. The husband may receive a permit for one half of the land and the wife for the other half. If the quarters are in the same unit they may hunt each other's quarter. The key is that both applicants must be record title owners of the land
