Special Notes: A landowner with deer/elk damage will enter
into a Cooperative Agreement with WDFW and establish a
boundary for deer/elk hunt, season dates within the framework
and number of animals to be removed. Landowner agrees not to
claim damage payments and will allow access to hunters during
the general hunting seasons. Landowner selects hunters. A
landowner damage access permit provided by the landowner will
authorize the hunter to use an unused general deer/elk tag to
hunt and kill a legal animal during the prescribed damage hunt
season.
