505. DEER AND ELK TAG ALLOCATION.
01. Allocation of Tags for Capped General Hunt Units or Zones. Pursuant to Section 36-408, Idaho Code, the Commission may allocate a number of deer and/or elk tags for use by hunters with signed agreements with licensed outfitters in units or zones with limited numbers of tags. The Commission may use this subsection or the
allocated tag provisions of Section 36-408, Idaho Code, to allocate outfitter tags in capped general hunt units or zones. (3-31-22)
a. When the number of hunters in a general hunt unit or zone becomes restricted, the Department will calculate the initial number of allocated tags for each zone using the Idaho Outfitters and Guides Licensing Board's records of average historic use during the previous five (5) year period. Where it is biologically feasible, any reductions in the number of tags available within a zone that exceed twenty percent (20%) will be spread over a three (3) year period with a maximum reduction of fifty percent (50%) taken in the first year and twenty-five percent (25%) in the second year. (3-31-22)
b. The allocation of tags will be calculated on a unit or zone basis. Any reduction or increase in hunting opportunities will be proportionate among non-outfitted hunters and outfitted hunters, and will be proportionate among resident and non-resident hunters; EXCEPT where such reduction would result in an allocation of greater than twenty-five percent (25%) for non-resident hunters, the Commission may reduce the allocation for non-resident hunters to a percentage of not less than twenty-five percent (25%). (3-31-22)
02. Allocation of Tags for Controlled Hunt Areas. The Commission may only allocate outfitter tags in controlled hunt areas with historic licensed deer and/or elk outfitted area(s). Hunt application and eligibility rules will apply to allocated tags in controlled hunts. (3-31-22)
a. The number of outfitter allocated tags will be in addition to the number of tags authorized by the Commission within each controlled hunt area with historic licensed deer and/or elk outfitter areas. (3-31-22)
b. A person is not eligible to apply for an outfitter allocated controlled hunt unless that person has a written agreement with an outfitter licensed in the hunt area. Successful applicants of an outfitter allocated controlled hunt must hunt with an outfitter licensed for the hunt area. The outfitter must purchase the successful applicant's controlled hunt tag by August 20. (3-31-22)
c. Successful applicants who do not want to participate in the outfitted hunt may decline the hunt upon written notification to the Department. Those declining the hunt will then be eligible to participate in a general season or leftover controlled hunt. Those drawing an outfitted controlled hunt and then declining the controlled hunt will be subject to any applicable waiting period under IDAPA 13.01.08, 'Rules Governing Taking of Big Game Animals,' Section 257. (3-31-22)
d. Successful applicants that do not secure the services of an Idaho licensed outfitter and have not purchased the controlled hunt tag by August 20 will forfeit the opportunity to purchase a controlled hunt tag. The forfeited controlled hunt tag will then be listed as a leftover controlled hunt tag. The Department will inform the Idaho Outfitters and Guides Board that a leftover controlled hunt tag is available. After securing a client, the outfitter(s) may then purchase the leftover controlled hunt tag at a Department office. (3-31-22)
e. The Commission may use this subsection or the allocated tag provisions of Section 36-408, Idaho Code, to allocate outfitter tags in controlled hunt areas: (3-31-22)
i. No less than one (1) tag and no more than three percent (3%) of the total tags; or (3-31-22)
ii. A number based on the average historic use during the previous five (5) year period to be rounded up when a decimal equals or exceeds zero point six (0.6) and rounded down when a decimal is less than zero point six (0.6); or (3-31-22)
iii. An unlimited number of allocated tags or a number of allocated tags based on historic use as alternatives only for controlled hunt areas with limited nonresident tags and unlimited resident tags; or (3-31-22)
iv. No tags will be allocated. (3-31-22)
506. DEER AND ELK TAG ALLOCATION IN GENERAL HUNTS LIMITED FOR NONRESIDENTS ONLY.
01. Tag Allocation. When setting annual or biennial limits for general hunt deer or elk tags available to nonresidents without resident limits, in zones, units, or other hunt areas with historic outfitted hunter use, the Commission will first allocate, on a corresponding biennial or annual basis, the number of tags reserved for outfitted hunters equal to the Initial Tag Use Number determined under this Section 506. The Commission will subtract the number of tags so allocated from the nonresident tag limit. Subject to a maximum of fifty percent (50%) of the remaining nonresident tag limit, the Commission will allocate an additional number of tags reserved for outfitted hunters corresponding to the number by which the higher tag number from the Two-Year Verified Outfitter Use History exceeds the Initial Tag Use Number for the hunt area. The number of tags remaining in the nonresident limit after subtracting the Initial Tag Use Number, and any additional tags allocated under this section, will be available for purchase as non-allocated tags by outfitted or non-outfitted hunters. (4-6-23)
a. For general hunts first limited for nonresidents while unlimited for residents in 2021 or subsequent years, the Initial Tag Use Number for outfitted hunters is the higher tag use number of the Two-Year Verified Outfitter Use History for 2021-2022, or the two (2) years immediately preceding the first year the hunt area is limited, whichever period is later. (4-6-23)
b. The Commission will increase the Initial Tag Use Number for a deer unit subject to a fifty percent (50%) restriction for allocated tag limits in 2021-2022, corresponding to the reduction in outfitted hunter use demonstrated by outfitter(s). (4-6-23)
c. If general hunt tags are allocated under this Section 506 for elk zones capped for all hunters before 2021, the Initial Tag Use Number will be the number determined to be historic outfitted hunter use at the time of prior capping, if greater than the otherwise applicable Two-Year Verified Outfitter Use History. (4-6-23)
d. The Initial Tag Use Number will remain the same for the zone, unit, or hunt area for subsequent consecutive years in which nonresident tag limits apply. (4-6-23)
01. Distribution of Allocated Tags. Application for allocated tags will be made by the outfitter for the outfitted hunter, in accordance with tag designation by the Idaho Outfitters and Guides Licensing Board under Section 36-2107, Idaho Code, on a form prescribed by the Department, and with outfitter's certification that a written agreement exists between the outfitter and outfitted hunter for the tag applied for. (4-6-23)
02. Designated Buyers. Purchasers of allocated tags, who return their unused tag with a notarized affidavit stating that they have not hunted, may designate another person to purchase a replacement tag. If the original buyer does not make a designation, the outfitter may make the designation. The designated buyer must pay the regular fee for the replacement tag. (4-6-23)
