Section 13.01.04.506 - DEER AND ELK TAG ALLOCATION IN GENERAL HUNTS LIMITED FOR NONRESIDENTS ONLY01.Tag Allocation. When setting annual or biennial limits for general hunt deer or elk tags available to nonresidents without resident limits, in zones, units, or other hunt areas with historic outfitted hunter use, the Commission will first allocate, on a corresponding biennial or annual basis, the number of tags reserved for outfitted hunters equal to the Initial Tag Use Number determined under this Section 506. The Commission will subtract the number of tags so allocated from the nonresident tag limit. Subject to a maximum of fifty percent (50%) of the remaining nonresident tag limit, the Commission will allocate an additional number of tags reserved for outfitted hunters corresponding to the number by which the higher tag number from the Two-Year Verified Outfitter Use History exceeds the Initial Tag Use Number for the hunt area. The number of tags remaining in the nonresident limit after subtracting the Initial Tag Use Number, and any additional tags allocated under this section, will be available for purchase as non-allocated tags by outfitted or non-outfitted hunters.02.Initial Tag Use Number.a. For general hunts first limited for nonresidents while unlimited for residents in 2021 or subsequent years, the Initial Tag Use Number for outfitted hunters is the higher tag use number of the Two-Year Verified Outfitter Use History for 2021-2022, or the two (2) years immediately preceding the first year the hunt area is limited, whichever period is later.b. The Commission will increase the Initial Tag Use Number for a deer unit subject to a fifty percent (50%) restriction for allocated tag limits in 2021-2022, corresponding to the reduction in outfitted hunter use demonstrated by outfitter(s).c. If general hunt tags are allocated under this Section 506 for elk zones capped for all hunters before 2021, the Initial Tag Use Number will be the number determined to be historic outfitted hunter use at the time of prior capping, if greater than the otherwise applicable Two-Year Verified Outfitter Use History.d. The Initial Tag Use Number will remain the same for the zone, unit, or hunt area for subsequent consecutive years in which nonresident tag limits apply.Idaho Admin. Code r. 13.01.04.506
