Section 73.4 - Alternate procedure for obtaining a special hunting permit

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision (b) of section 73.3 of this Part, the department may, on designated portions of the area, allow hunting parties with reservations to go directly to their assigned sites, prior to legal shooting time, on the day they intend to hunt.

(b) Party leaders, on the day prior to the hunt between the hours of 2 p.m. and 4 p.m., must furnish the following permit information to the check station:

(1) make and type of motor vehicle to be parked in assigned parking area and license plate number;

(2) party leader's name, address and hunting license number; and

(3) names of all other hunters in the party.

(c) All unfilled reservations shall be cancelled at the beginning of legal shooting time for each day reservations were made, which then will be made available on a lottery basis to parties without reservations. Party leaders must notify the check station prior to legal shooting time on the day for which reservations were made if they cannot hunt, or of any permit changes. Failure to do so may result in forfeiture of their hunting privileges on the area for the remainder of the season.

(d) If at any time the cooperator hunting area staff determines the procedure for obtaining hunting privileges under this section is being abused, the regional wildlife manager will abide by the provisions of section 73.3 of this Part for all permit issuance.
