- Increases the percentage of available nonresident deer licenses offered through a special drawing from 40% to 60%.
- Increases the percentage of available nonresident antelope licenses offered through a special drawing from 40% to 60%.
- Requires that 75 of the nonresident deer licenses set aside for this drawing be used for a national bow hunt.
- Allows unsuccessful applicants to apply for any remaining licenses after the drawing in the same calendar year.
Who it affects
- Nonresident hunters who apply for elk, deer, or antelope licenses.
- The commission that establishes the rules for these licenses.
Limits and unknowns
- The bill did not pass in the 2015 session, so these changes did not take effect.
