Didn’t receive a permit through the antlerless deer permit lottery, or miss the deadline to claim your permit? Don’t fret. Remaining antlerless deer permits will be available for purchase online only in certain WMDs on a first-come, first-served basis beginning Tuesday, September 15 at 9:30am.
Before You Log In
Have the following information ready:
- Name and date of birth
- Important: If your name or date of birth is misspelled on your current hunting license, enter it exactly as it appears on the license so the system can locate your record.
- MOSES ID (optional, but highly recommended)
- You can find your MOSES ID on your current hunting license.
- Preferred Wildlife Management Districts (WMDs)
- Have at least two WMDs in mind in case your first choice sells out.
- Find WMD maps at mefishwildlife.com/wmd.
- Credit card information
What to Expect on September 15
To ensure the website remains available during periods of high demand, MDIFW uses a virtual queue system.
- If you arrive before 9:30am you will be placed in a virtual waiting room.
- At 9:30am everyone in the waiting room will be assigned a random position in the queue.
- Joining the waiting room early does not provide an advantage over other hunters who are waiting when the sale begins.
- Hunters who arrive after 9:30am will be added to the queue in the order they arrive.
While waiting, you’ll see an estimated wait time. Please be patient—your opportunity to purchase a permit will come when your turn arrives.
