(3) Each year, the Division, by action of the Park Manager, will allocate HUPs up to the maximums after evaluating harvest and other data in the interest of creating a high quality hunter opportunity consistent with wildlife objectives.

b. Permit Fees (1) Successful permit applicants shall pay the fee associated with their HUP (see fee schedule section b.5) at least thirty (30) days prior to any access to Lone Mesa State Park.

(2) Upon payment of the fee and attendance of the mandatory orientation session, an HUP shall be issued to the applicant.

(3) If an applicant who is successful in the drawing (see section c.7.) fails to pay the HUP fee, a permit will not be issued to them. The next qualified applicant on the drawing log (see section c. 8.), or the next first-come, first-served applicant will be offered an HUP.

(4) If, at a later date, an applicant's payment of the HUP fee is found to be insufficient due to payment stops, insufficient funds or any other reason, an HUP will not be issued to them. And, if an HUP had been issued prior to CPW discovering the insufficient payment, that permit will be voided.
