[/url][font "arial, helvetica, sans-serif"][#00e010]Anticipted Changes for the 2004 Elk Application[/#00e010][/font]
[font "arial, helvetica, sans-serif"][black] [ul] [li]A weighted random lottery to select successful applicants. [li]Hunters may be limited to one elk license per lifetime. [li]An option to donate the authority to purchase a license to a youth or a terminally ill individual. [/li][/ul]
The anticipated 2004 weighted lottery for elk licenses will remain a random selection. An individual’s chances will increase by one for each year the individual applies and is not successful. Example: An individual that applies for three years without being drawn will have three chances (placed in the applicant pool three times), as opposed to an individual applying for the first time that will have one chance (placed in the applicant pool one time).
If the weighted lottery is implemented, applicants who are unsuccessful in the 2003 draw and apply in 2004 will be placed in the applicant pool two times in 2004. Check the 2004 elk guide for details.
NOTE: There is no guarantee of being drawn in a weighted lottery.[/black][/font]
