Which Safety Briefs Do I Need to Take To Unlock The Permits?
- Any permit that requires downrange access to include hunting permits, downrange wood collection permits, and the non-consumptive permit, you will need to complete:
- BOTH the annual UXO and the annual safety brief
- Hunting/fishing combo OR veteran/senior discount permits you will need to complete:
- (1) annual UXO, (2) annual safety, and (3) the camping and fishing briefs
- For stand alone fishing permits and camping permits you will need to complete:
- camping and fishing brief
Troubleshooting
- If your permits are not showing up under "Available Permits" inside your account, most likely you have not taken the required brief(s) to unlock that permit group.
- Another reason the permits may not be visible is if you have your customer type set to the wrong group.
- EX: if you are a disbled veteran and still have your iSportsman customer type set to Active Duty, you will not be able to see or buy the discounted veteran permits. - make sure you have your customer type set to the correct category.
- EX: if you are 82 years old and your customer type is set to a Civilian (for ages 18-63) you won't be able to see the Super Senior permit. Make sure to check your customer type depending on the permit you are trying to buy if you have taken all of the applicable safety briefings.
