permits.
As of 2 p.m. today, only 448 permits remained.
About 4,500 alligator hunt permits went on sale at 10 a.m.
Tuesday on a first-come, first served basis. During this period,
people are allowed to purchase only one permit per person –
enabling them to take two alligators.
The deadline to purchase a permit is 11:59 p.m.
(EDT) on June 18. At 10 a.m. (EDT) June 19, sales will resume,
and people will be allowed to buy multiple permits, if any
