Registration for the Special Permits are Friday afternoon at 1:00 pm until 4:00 pm and Saturday 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.
You will need a current Arkansas Hunting License to sign up. Licenses can be purchased in Jasper at Tanner Hardware.
Drawings for permits begin at NOON on Saturday and are held every hour on the hour until 5 pm when the drawing for the permits taken at the festival is held.
