We would like to thank everyone for their interest in the 2019 Saint Cloud (STC) Airport Archery Deer Hunt. There were 49 applicants. The random lottery draw for the hunt was conducted and seven hunters have been notified. We start things off with a mandatory meeting of the seven selected hunters to go over rules, get copies of licenses, and complete the permit process. We are hoping to conduct this on Wednesday, September 4, 2019, at 6 pm. We wish for all archery hunters to have a safe and successful hunt this year.

We currently have 25 paid registrants for the lottery. If you have not filled out an paper application and paid Lynn in the admin office for your chance in the lottery, please do that as soon as possible. We have one more week to register your name to be one of the lucky seven. Deadline Friday, August 30, 2019, at 3:30 pm Winners will be notified by email and the website will be updated.

Hunting Permits

Permits for archery hunting of whitetail deer are issued by STC based on a lottery system. Seven permits will be issued for the 2019 Deer Archery season. If your name is drawn, a permit fee of $5 must be paid before an archery permit will be issued. Hunting is allowed in designated areas outside the fence on STC property (view respective map (PDF) showing designated area). Firearm hunting is prohibited! Download the city's Deer Management Policy (PDF).

Complete a Deer Hunt Lottery Application (PDF) and turn it into the terminal's Airport Administrative office with a $10 application fee by 3:30 pm on Friday, August 30, 2019.

Harvest Reports

All permit holders are required to complete a Harvest Report (PDF), whether successful or not. Failure to return the Harvest Information Sheet to STC will result in denied eligibility for any future airport archery hunt.
