DNREC’s Division of Fish & Wildlife is now accepting applications for its annual low-number hunting license lottery. At 9 a.m. Tuesday, June 5 in the auditorium at DNREC’s main office in the Richardson & Robbins Building in Dover, the Division will conduct the lottery drawing to issue 25 available low-number Delaware hunting licenses with numbers less than 1,000.
Licenses will be awarded to the applicants whose names are drawn starting with the lowest and ending with the highest number via a live drawing. The lottery is open to the public but successful applicants do not need to be present as they will be notified by mail.

- The license is not transferable by the selected applicant to any individual.
- Individuals who currently hold a low-numbered license are not eligible.
- To be considered, an applicant must submit one and only one postcard, either by mail or hand-deliver it to the Richardson & Robbins building in Dover.
