Avid.... I don't know where you live... but the nice thing about the CD permits here is they are usually issued as soon as the crops break ground and the deer start visiting. We usually start hunting around the first of July and hunt until Jan 31 including the regular season. In past years our CD permits ran until bow season opened. This year they ran until Jan 31 which didn't make much sense as we can alread shoot unlimited does with the bow until Jan 31. The CD permits are weapons of choice here but we use our bows. Just get your farmers to put in early as they can. If they've had them in the past they probably will just auto issue upon request and not have to visit the damaged fields.
