- (b) affected by a catastrophic or major natural disaster or man-made event that requires the applicant's assistance as a member of a local, state, or federal management agency.
- (3) Moose, sheep, and goat licenses that are not finalized before August 1, and applications which are voided under these circumstances, may be reissued to unsuccessful applicants for the original drawing.
