June 30th if I am not mistaken. Antlerless should be available for a while after that. I'm a resident so I don't deal with the out of state but I also believe that there have been leftover permits after the draw in recent years but don't quote me on that. Better safe just to do it before the 30th and gaurentee your permit.
APPLY FOR IT!! There is a part of the app if you are hunting with an outfitter, and that will generally guarantee you a tag. It's not really a "lottery" like it used to be, they take the $415 up front, so you'll get your tag, but I wouldn't be comfortable banking on an OTC tag.

Everybody gets the tag they want. In fact, this season they had only sold less than 9,000 of our NR tags.
The remaining tags will go on sale over-the-counter so there really isn't anyway you won't get the tag you want.
