“Sportsmen and women drawn for a quota hunt can look forward to participating in excellent hunts,” said John Bowers, chief of the Game Management Section.  “Quota hunt locations and dates are specifically selected to provide one of the best hunting experiences you can have, and we are certain that this year is no exception.”

Deer quota opportunities include hunts on wildlife management areas and state park lands, dog-deer hunting and adult/child hunting opportunities.
