I was wondering how you obtain a Archery permit to hunt Pocahontas park? Also how much it cost?

go to the park office and apply. I just found out today. The lady told me you fill out an application and pay 20 bucks and they will review it and make a determination. She wouldnt tell me what the factors are to determine if you will be given a permit. Have you looked into it. I dont want to go pay 20 dollars and them say all slots are full or there is a limit etc. does anyone have info on the application process

Is small game hunting with an air rifle permitted in any area? Do you require any special permit for it? Leave a Reply. |
