Dedicated Hunters
Check your progress
Use this tool to monitor your progress while in the Dedicated Hunter Program. Keep in mind:
- Volunteer service credit is typically recorded within 1-2 weeks of project completion. Please refer to the project description or confirmation email for when your service hours are estimated to be entered in the system.
- A "harvest" is added to your account the moment your Dedicated Hunter deer permit is printed. All Dedicated Hunters who are issued permits must complete an annual harvest survey report —even if they do not hunt— If you don't harvest, your record will be adjusted after the final deadline for survey reporting.
- Beginning in 2024, paper permits are no longer to be returned to the DWR to show a non-harvest.
- The education requirement is an online training course that can be completed after you join the program, before receiving your first permit.
To review your records or to pay for service credit online, enter your customer ID and date of birth to access your account.

Purchased hours are immediately entered into your account. To purchase service credit instead of doing volunteer service, select the amount of credit from the dropdown box below and click Purchase selected hours.
How many hours* would you like to purchase?
* This online payment tool allows you to purchase the number of hours needed for the current year. If you want to purchase more hours than are required for the current year, you will need to contact a DWR office directly.
