LAST EDITED ON Dec-04-15 AT 10:22AM (MST)[p]Amy, Since you are going to include several explanations regarding Antlerless Elk Control Permits, additional opportunity antlerless deer and elk permits, and two-doe deer and pronghorn permits in the new regulations, it might be prudent to also include the requirement that the hunter also carry the qualifying buck or bull permit, whether or not the tag has been used. This way, any CO can determine if the hunter is legally using the antlerless permit in the right area, with the right weapon, at the right time! I wouldn't think this would have to go through the RAC/Wildlife Board system and would just be a matter of administering the new regulations. The Extended Archery hunts require the hunter to carry both a permit and a certificate of passing the online Extended Archery course and this would be no different.
We regularly use the terms "permit" and "tag" interchangeably, but, in fact, as you know, they are two different legal documents that are numbered the same and are attached only for convenience of administering. Many, if not most, hunters think they are just one document and you were regularly asked about hunting the antlerless permit after harvesting the buck or bull and detaching the tag from the buck/bull permit, thus the explanation in the new regulations. May I also suggest that you attach a sidebar in the proclamations explaining the above information. I think it would be helpful. (As if you didn't have enough to do already!)
Thanks,
