Apply for 2021 public drawing deer hunts.
The Webb gun lottery will be available this year, and it is the hunter’s responsibility to adhere to any necessary Covid precautions in order to protect themselves, other hunters, and DNR staff. If selected, you will be eating in the same room as other hunters and be lodging in the same room with other hunters not on your application. DNR reserves the right to assign rooms for lodging to minimize mixing of hunters. If you are not comfortable being housed with other hunters, you can select the non-draw option to just purchase a preference point for the year.
