Black bear and wild turkey hunters are reminded to submit their applications before midnight on Dec. 10.
Applications for permit drawings can be purchased through Go Wild at GoWild.wi.gov or through an authorized license agent.
Harvest numbers from the 2018 black bear season are not yet finalized, but preliminary estimates show that hunters harvested more than 3,680 bears.
Bear hunters are reminded that due to the high interest in this hunt, hunters must apply for several years before receiving a permit through the drawing process for most bear management zones.
