It appears they're possibly setting these up like those special hunts they offered this past year. See this thread.What are limited entry hunts on page 44? If these are those tags they added late last year they have added elk, antelope and goulds turkey
There have been several units during the fall seasons that have had draw permits only. These were designated after they accounted for 20% of the harvest, etc. as written in the rule. Thus, when it's a draw, the 10% NR cap kicks in.Isn't the quota on the OTC archery hunts new?
So this looks to be the G&F expanding on the Super Raffle principal by creating & offering some of the best permits in the state. Looks like G&F realized just how much extra cash they can make by doing their own G&F sponsored raffle, without the headache of dealing with the critter organizations. These are separate from the regular draw & separate from the Super Raffle which requires that all proceeds go towards habitat improvement projects for each species. I doubt the $$ raised will go back to species specific habitat projects but will go into their general coffers.It appears they're possibly setting these up like those special hunts they offered this past year.

Yup. Quite obviously meant to raise lots of money with little effect on the critter populations.So this looks to be the G&F expanding on the Super Raffle principal by creating & offering some of the best permits in the state.

When they offered the "special hunts" late last year, you had to know they were going to expand on it. It will only get bigger as the years roll on. A crapload of extra $13 & $15 dollar applications will yield a sizable fortune. Pretty soon instead of 1 permit for each, it will be 2 permits, then 3.........
I read that as a quota hunt. I.e. once the threshold is reached that unit is closed for the year.....I have a likely silly question. Next to non-permit archery tags, I see “threshold”. Is that related to the number of animals reported harvested which would result in a unit going draw?
Thanks
No, it's sort of a quota figure to shut the season down early. Kind of like they do with bear when a specific # of sows are tagged.I have a likely silly question. Next to non-permit archery tags, I see “threshold”. Is that related to the number of animals reported harvested which would result in a unit going draw?
Thanks
Yes, that is something new for deer. Everything to this point has been curtailed by the number of permits. I suppose they figure this will provide more opportunity than going to a definite draw, but it is more a PIA, as well.Thanks! I see on Mt. Lion/Bear how that works, but don’t see anything on ADFG for deer—likely because it is a new proposal correct? There is an OTC archery unit I typically hunt, but has low threshold, so not sure if it would be worth planning for this Dec…
