Sandhills are hunted in several states. I've seen them by the thousands in North Dakota during the fall migration. They are pretty good to eat and often refered to as the "Flying Cow" due to their similarity in taste to beef.

The bonus antlerless license is good for any deer season. You are allowed 1 antlered deer in the regular seasons.

I don't believe they are sending letters out this year. The information you need is on the web. When you view your results, click on the link called "Hunt Information" and print off the PDF. That has all the information you need.
