Master Hunter Permit Program

Application Forms

The open enrollment period for the Master Hunter Permit Program (MHPP) will be postponed for new Master Hunters until the budget situation is known, after the 2019 legislative session. Because of the possibility of a special legislative session(s), and the fact that state operating budgets are typically finalized very late in the legislative session, WDFW cannot place a hard deadline on if/when the application period will open.

For more information, please see the 2019 MHPP Letter to Master Hunters and Applicants
