The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission is now accepting applications online for alligator hunting permits.
Hunters must be 16 or older to apply. Each permit authorizes the harvest of one alligator, which must be at least 4 feet long.
Alligator hunting is allowed from 30 minutes after sunset until 30 minutes before sunrise during the approved alligator seasons, Sept. 20-23 and Sept. 27-30.
Applicants who have been chosen to get a permit will have to attend a mandatory hunter orientation class before they are allowed to hunt.
A certain number of permits will be issued for each alligator hunting zone, according to the AG&FC.
Applications are accepted until June 24.
