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?
