PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management announced Tuesday that their deer hunting permits will soon be on sale.

Each deer permit costs $13 online or $13.50 at a sales agent for residents. For non-residents, the cost is $26.50 online or $27.50 at a sales agent.

The DEM is also offering their “all outdoors” package which includes permits for five antlerless and two antlered deer. For residents, the package is $78 online and $81 at a sales agent.

A hunter education course is also required for new hunters and is offered as part of Department of Fishing and Wildlife’s Hunter Education Program.
