However, 1000 Either-Se- x special permits are be-ing issued for this area and only persons possessing a special per-mit will be allowed to hunt on this unit.

Bureau of Land Man-agement a livestock representat-ive, and the Fish and Game Dept. A few permits are still available at the County Courthouse in Too-ele.
