Any person regardless of being issued an elk license in the first drawing of an elk hunting season within the previous nine years is eligible to apply for an elk depredation permit. However, any person who holds an elk hunting license from the current elk drawing, is not eligible to apply in the lottery drawing for an elk depredation permit. Issuance of an elk depredation permit under this depredation hunt does not affect future eligibility for elk licenses available in any elk hunting season or preference points.
