Sandhill Crane Hunters,

The packages containing the permits and tags were delivered to the state mail service last Friday, October 30. From there they would be transferred to the USPS. Some of the packages have been delivered to hunters, some are still in transit, and some haven't been shipped from the USPS facility yet. I assume that the USPS is somewhat overwhelmed with the election mail, so delays are likely. Please be patient, I am tracking the progress of the packages and if we have any issues we will make sure to get every hunter their permit and tags before the hunting season opens in December.

No need to reply that you haven’t received your package yet. Continue to check your mail for your package to arrive. If we continue to have issues by next Friday, I will investigate further.

Thanks,
