ZONE 11 SURPLUS DEER PERMIT SALES OCTOBER 17
On Wednesday, October 17, 2012 at 8:00am, 929 Zone 11 surplus antlerless permits will be available to purchase by home computer or at any license vendor on the MassFishHunt system on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Please Note: Zone 11 surplus antlerless deer permits will only be available for purchase by hunters who don’t already have a Zone 11 surplus antlerless deer permit. Anyone with a Zone 11 Surplus Antlerless Deer permit will be unable to purchase a second Zone 11 permit.
Background:
On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, deer hunters attempting to purchase surplus antlerless deer permits experienced major difficulties with the MassFishHunt electronic system preventing a number of them from completing their transaction. Late in the morning, data provided by Active Outdoors, the private contractor responsible for the MassFishHunt system, indicated that the allocation of Zone 11 surplus permits sold out and sales for Zone 11 were closed. Subsequently, it was determined that over 900 Zone 11 surplus permits remained unsold. Zones 10, 13, and 14 surplus sales continued and by the afternoon the electronic system was functioning normally and completing permit sales.
Active Outdoors, the system vendor, takes responsibility for the system failure and apologizes to hunters, license vendors, and the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife.
