If you’re already a Dedicated Hunter—or you plan to apply for the program in 2012—there are a few changes you’ll want to keep in mind.

• The Dedicated Hunter drawing will take place as part of the 2012 big game drawing. The application dates are from Feb. 1 to March 1, 2012.
• Drawing results will be available on May 31, 2012.
• If you are already a Dedicated Hunter in the second or third year of the program, you will have the opportunity to select a general-season unit before the big game drawing. You will receive a letter explaining how to make your unit choice.
• If you enter the 2012 drawing with a loyalty point, it will automatically be converted into a Dedicated Hunter preference point.
• For new Dedicated Hunters, the service-hour requirement has dropped from 40 hours to 32 hours.
