Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 1, January 10, 2025

Section 2 CCR 406-17-1706 - HUNTING ACCESS FEE LIMITATION

A. A damage claim will be denied when a fee in excess of five hundred ($500.00) per season has been charged any person for big game hunting access onto or through any lands owned, leased or otherwise controlled by the claimant, or the landowner if the claimant is the lessee. Access is defined as ingress into or through any property for the purpose of big game hunting.

This provision applies only to the species causing damage; but even then, not if the claimant shows that he or she have not unreasonably restricted hunting for the specific group of animals that was causing damage by charging a fee in excess of $500 for access on or to lands which the animals causing damage inhabit or migrate across. In the case of a lease or other agreement by two or more persons, the fee charged shall be determined by dividing the total fee paid for the lease by the number of individual big game hunters who actually hunted under terms of the lease or agreement for one or more days. The number of big game hunters who actually hunted shall include any persons who were individually authorized to hunt but were unable to do so for reasons outside the control of the claimant.

B. A statement of the maximum fee actually charged, if any, shall accompany any claim for game damage. The amount of this maximum fee shall be determined in accordance with provisions of #1706(a).
