I'm acquiring some Eastern Indigos from two different people this summer, and learned something that may be of interest and benefit to future Eastern Indigo buyers.
During a recent telephone conversation with David Dell, the primary USFW person responsible for issuance of the Interstate Commerce Permit, I mentioned that I was intending to buy some Easterns from two different individuals. He volunteered that both purchases could be covered under the same permit, and that if I included the required information on both transactions in my application it would save me $100 and the extra time and effort needed to fill out and submit a second application. Maybe this is already known in the Indigo community, but it was news to me.
David's suggestion provided a very reasonable, non-bureaucratic solution to my situation. I have to say that I have been pleasantly surprised by the can-do attitude of both the Virginia Fish and Game and USFW people with whom I have dealt throughout the permitting process.
