Is the G&F Allocating an Extra 3,900 General Elk Tags to Nonresident Hunters?
Below is the exact language from CH44(iv):
(iv) Elk. A total license limit of seven thousand two hundred-fifty (7,250) nonresident elk licenses shall be made available to nonresident applicants in the initial drawing each year. Reduced price cow/calf elk licenses and limited quota elk licenses remaining after the initial drawing may be made available to nonresidents in addition to the limit of seven thousand two hundred fifty (7,250). Sixteen percent (16%) of the total available limited quota full price and reduced price cow/calf elk licenses shall initially be offered to nonresidents in the nonresident elk initial drawing. The order of the nonresident elk initial drawings described in this section shall be Nonresident Landowner Licenses, Nonresident Special Licenses, and then Nonresident Regular Licenses. Following the Nonresident Landowner License Drawing, licenses available in the initial drawing from the seven thousand two hundred-fifty (7,250) limit shall be allocated as follows: The allocation of remaining licenses after the nonresident landowner drawing shall be forty percent (40%) to the Nonresident Special License Drawing and sixty percent (60%) to the Nonresident Regular License Drawing. If the seven thousand two hundred-fifty (7,250) license quota is not issued in the initial nonresident drawings, the Department may achieve the seven thousand two hundred-fifty (7,250) license quota by issuing nonresident general elk licenses. Licenses remaining for limited quota areas resulting from this procedure may be made available in the resident elk initial drawing.
According to this data, in 2020, nonresident hunters drew 2,301 leftover elk tags.
So, in 2020, Nonresidents received 13,513 Total Tags ….
- 7,253 Tags from the Initial Draw
- 2,301 Leftover Tags
= 3,959 elk tags unaccounted for.
At the September 1 Task Force meeting, I asked Ms. Doering to explain these extra nonresident elk tags. Unbelievably, given she’s the License Section Chief, Ms. Doering replied that she didn’t know and told me to ask Deputy Director Doug Brimeyer. So I sent Mr. Brimeyer an email … he initially replied saying he’d get back to me, but never did.https://www.307hunter.com/articles/joint-trw-committee-forwards-9010-bill-for-big-5-to-full-legislature
