hunt on the game population during a given year or years, or because the state
did not issue the applicant a permit to hunt on the game population for which
the applicant applied; one point is given for each year, up to 50
points;
(2) the number of years in
which a member of the applicant's household has hunted on or eaten from the
game population, plus the number of years in which that member of the

during a given year or years, or because the state did not issue that member of
the applicant's household a permit to hunt on the game population for which
that member of the applicant's household applied;.2 points are given for each
year, up to 10 points; and
(3) the
amount of time during the year the applicant spends in the noncommercial
harvesting of wild fish and game within the hunt area boundary:
(A) 0 days = 0 points;
(B) 1 to 6 days = 5 points;
(C) 7 to 27 days = 10 points;
(D) 28 to 48 days = 15 points;
(E) 49 to 69 days = 20 points; and
(F) 70 days or more = 25 points.
(b) The "ability of a
subsistence user to obtain food if subsistence use is restricted or eliminated"
