FORT A.P. HILL, VA -- Hunters, fishermen and trappers who use Fort A.P. Hill will soon be able to purchase permits and check-in and out of the area on their home computer or smart phone thanks to a new web-based program called iSportsman.

Fort A.P. Hill Senior Wildlife Biologist Ben Fulton says iSportsman will make it easier for hunters and anglers to register their permits and enter the hunting area; Gone are the days of driving to the registration station at Outdoor Recreation early in the morning and waiting in line to enter.

"It will benefit sportsmen and hunters that they can now buy permits at home," Fulton said. "They can be online to check in and out of the area by smartphone, on a computer, by phone or at a kiosk through the Visitor Control Center."

Fulton said iSportsman also makes it easy for others to move to other areas using their cell phones or smartphones. Hunters with a smartphone can pull up an electronic map and see what areas are available - they will be color coded on the map, red for closed areas, green for open.

There is no physical check-in and check-out, it is done by phone, he said. This saves a 30-40 minute drive back to the check station that they had to do in the past when they want to change the zone.

Wardens of Fort A.P. Hill Game can track who has checked in and out on their laptop, something that could not be done in the past.

The ability to track users gives installers the ability to contact them in an emergency, bad weather or other critical situation, Fulton said.

Those without a smartphone or computer can register at the iSportsman Kiosk located next to Fort A.P. Hill Visitor Control Center. The kiosk has a touch screen, a keyboard and a slot for swiping a credit card. Fulton said users must pay with a credit card under the new system, and will not accept cash or checks.
