hunting permit

Wildlife pursuit document

A hunting permit is an official license authorizing someone to hunt specific game animals within designated areas and seasons.

Permits regulate wildlife populations and prevent overhunting.

Some permits are freely issued while others—for trophy animals like elk or bighorn sheep—are limited and awarded by lottery: I finally drew a hunting permit after six years of applying.
