A permit fee of $10.00 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). Firearm hunting is PROHIBITED!

If interested, please call, come, or email the airport terminal's administrative office and pay the $10.00 application fee prior to opening season.

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

The 2018 Archery Hunt season was 4/18/18-5/31/18. No gobblers were taken but everyone enjoyed the opportunity to hunt. For more information, visit the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) website, call Airport Administration at 320-255-7292, Ext. 3, or email airport@ci.stcloud.mn.us.
