Hunter Education Instructor Incentive Permits | |||||
– – – – – |
Special elk permits will be allocated through a random drawing to those hunter education instructors that
qualify. Permit hunters must use archery equipment during archery seasons, muzzleloader equipment during muzzleloader seasons, and any legal weapon during modern firearm seasons. Qualifying hunter education instructors must be certified and have been in active status for a minimum of three consecutive years, inclusive of the year prior to the permit drawing. Instructors who are drawn, accept a permit, and are able to participate in the hunt, will not be eligible for these incentive permits for a period of ten years thereafter. Permittees may purchase a second license for use with the permit hunt only. |
