All deer killed must be field-tagged and immediately brought to the refuge check station. Deer taken will be tagged with a State tag at the check station, but note that deer taken at Eastern Neck Refuge are bonus deer that do count against your state limit. All hunters must turn in their permits at the check station when ending their hunt or leaving the refuge. Pets are prohibited. All hunters must obtain a permit regardless of age.
Permits are non-transferrable.
The deadline for receipt of Permit applications falls in early September, as indicated on the application itself. Permittees will be selected by random drawing . Both permittees and persons not selected will be notified as soon as possible after the drawing. Each person in the group must submit an application and application fee, but they should be stapled together, with the designated group leader's application first, and submitted together. Only permanently disabled non-ambulatory hunters are accomodated during this special hunt for safety reasons.
