**A [non-refundable]{.underline} application fee of \$5 must be included
with your application. There are no fees for anyone age 16 years old or
younger; youth hunters are also exempt from the lottery process, but
still need to select each hunt he or she is applying for. If you are
selected, you will be notified and at that time you will need to send in
the appropriate amount of money for each permit. If money is not
received within twenty-one calendar days from the time of being
notified, the lottery portion of your application will be withdrawn and
we will go to the next applicant that was in the lottery. Checks or
money orders must be made out to the US Fish and Wildlife Service. [Cash
will not be accepted]{.underline}. Applications that are missing any of
the required information, including your application fee, will be
discarded, as well as multiple applications from the same hunter.
Applications which are illegible will also be discarded.**

**The lottery will be held on August 15, 2008. Permit packages will be
mailed out by August 29, 2008, pending receipt of payment.**
