The rule-making notice for the November Commission meeting says:
Open for final consideration of the following:
• Modifying the limited license application and drawing allocation processes for deer, elk, pronghorn and bear to include a rolling three-year average for licenses requiring ten or more preference points.
Currently the 80/20 units are those that took 6 or more resident preference points to draw way back when they calculated it for the years 2009-2011. They are proposing to change that to those that now take 10 or more resident preference points to draw over a three-year rolling average (previous three years). The three-year rolling average is good and will eventually result in more licenses.
However, by increasing the preference point level to those hunt codes that took 10 or more resident points to draw over the last 3 years, residents will only gain 53 additional deer licenses and will lose 200 elk licenses to non-residents. Below is the graph of data the commission used to make this decision. By their analysis, this will result in a "slight revenue gain," as there would be more elk licenses issued to NR. Meanwhile, the wildlife side of CPW had a $52 million revenue surplus the last FY.
Updating the hunt code list using the current 6+ PP criteria would result in 468 additional R deer licenses and 790 additional R elk licenses. Per the data below, this would result in a $75,000 loss of revenue.
