(1)
Submission of requests.
a.
Individual hunters or approved organizations shall submit a request, or
requests, to the coordinator.
(1) A request
for a deer license must be on the form provided by the department and shall be
submitted to the coordinator by August 1 prior to the season to be
hunted.
(2) A request for a turkey
license must be on the form provided by the department and shall be submitted
to the coordinator at least 14 days prior to the season to be hunted.
(3) A request for a regular hunting license
that includes the habitat fee must be on the form provided by the department
and shall be submitted to the coordinator prior to the seasons to be
hunted.
b. Applicants
will not qualify for a deer or turkey license under this rule if they were
issued a deer or turkey license under this rule the previous year. However, if
there are unclaimed deer or turkey licenses under this rule, then the
coordinator may keep a list of applicants who received licenses the previous
year and who apply for the current year, and process those applicants'
applications through an electronic, unbiased lottery system to determine the
recipients of the unclaimed licenses.
c. Hunters awarded a deer license under this
rule may purchase preference points for the regular nonresident deer license
and shall not lose those preference points when awarded a deer license under
this rule.
(2)
Review. After the established deadlines have passed, the
coordinator shall review the applications for completeness and shall process
the complete applications through an electronic, unbiased lottery system to
determine the recipients of the special licenses. The coordinator shall
exercise discretion and shall also consider the following:
a. Requests from an approved organization or
hunter that has been found guilty of a game violation in Iowa or elsewhere
shall not be considered for a special license.
b. If special licenses are unclaimed after
the established deadlines, the coordinator may set new deadlines and inform
participating approved organizations that licenses are still available.
Applications shall be processed through an electronic, unbiased lottery system
to determine the recipients.
(3)
Selection and payment.
Upon notice of selection to receive a special license, the approved
organization or hunter shall make payment in accordance with rule 561-12.17
(483A) to the department through the coordinator. Payment must be made prior to
the hunting season for which the license is valid.
