Yes, I work for the Department in the elk program. If I am the only one in the program does that make me the elk program? anyway, It is my understanding after reviewing the how to apply for the draw sections that you can apply online for these hunts.
Here is an excerpt from the booklet
"Q. where can i apply for the Big game Drawing?
a. You can apply for the big game drawing at a DFg license
agent or a DFg license sales office. You can also apply
online at http://www.dfg.ca.gov..." Still finalyzing the web address.
I am not in charge of the drawing or licenses but it is my understanding you will be able to apply online. The booklet is finishing up its last edits and then apparently it needs to be reviewed for ADA compliance. There is just a ton of stuff like that the Department has to do to comply with state laws. It is never as simple as it should be. It will be online before it is mailed out. That is what I know to date.
The FHL muzzleloader hunt was 100% success. I will try to get the tag numbers up on the web site, but they are pretty much the same as last year with a few minor tweaks here and there. Antelope is almost the same except Lassen is proposed to be about 5 tags per period more than last year. Good luck to everyone in the draw.
