Quota Hunts: How to Apply as an Individual

It's time to put in your Quota Hunt applications for the next hunting season!

New to Quota Hunts? A Quota Hunt is a managed hunt that allows a set number of hunters to participate. A quota is placed on a hunt to protect natural resources (wildlife and their habitats), provide a high-quality hunting experience and maintain a high level of safety. Learn more about Quota Hunts at A Quest to Quota.

The step-by-step guide below is sure to help you get your application in before the deadline. But, before we dive into the guide, let's cover some terms you might see:

Group Members: For many hunts, you may add group members. Group applications are treated like individual applications, but all persons in the group are selected or not selected for a hunt. The maximum number of priority points that can be wagered for the group is determined by the group member with the lowest points available. For some hunts, persons selected may bring up to a certain number of hunters with them on the hunt. More about applying for a Group Hunt Here.

Example: You and a friend apply for a Quota Hunt together. You have 4 points and they 1. You'll be drawn based off of your friends points. Either both of you will be drawn for the hunt or neither or you.

Points only: You may submit a points-only application for the species you want to hunt, which gives you a priority point in that category that year, with no chance of being selected to go on a hunt that year.
