Once you create a VA Quota Hunts online account, you can:

• Apply for these or a variety of other quota hunts
• Pay using a credit card (we also accept check and money order)
• Check the status of the hunts you applied for,
• And if you win a hunt, download all the necessary documents and permits.

Quota hunts provide hunters unique opportunities to access public lands that otherwise may be closed to hunting (such as our most popular hunt, the Radford Army Ammunitions Plant Deer Hunt.) Hunters can participate in random drawings to hunt waterfowl, white-tailed deer, black bear, quail, rabbits, turkeys, and feral hogs.
