Universal Citation: MN Rules 6232.3800
Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 13, September 23, 2024
Subpart 1. General procedures.
The provisions in this part apply to applications for moose licenses.
A. A person may apply for
only one of the open zones.
B. A
person may apply only once and must apply in a party of two, three, or four.
All party members must apply for the same zone.
C. Up to 20 percent of the licenses in each
zone of the Northwest Area may be issued in a separate landowner and tenant
drawing. The following persons are eligible for this separate drawing:
(1) owners of at least 160 acres of
agricultural or grazing land, within the zone applied for;
(2) tenants living on at least 160 acres of
agricultural or grazing land, within the zone applied for; or
(3) family members of qualifying landowners
and tenants, if they live on the qualifying property and are part of the
farming operation. Family members include those related by blood, marriage, or
adoption.
Applicants unsuccessful in the landowner and tenant drawing will be included in the selection process for the remaining licenses in the same zone. Landowner and tenant party applications that include individuals who do not meet the requirements for this license will be removed from the landowner and tenant drawing and will not be entered into the general drawing.
D.
Twenty percent of the moose licenses to be issued each year are available in a
separate selection for individuals who have applied at least ten times for a
moose license and who have never received a license. If the 20 percent of
licenses exceeds the number of eligible applicants, the remaining permits shall
be made available in the regular drawing. Evidence of unsuccessful application
for purposes of this drawing is the application history database retained by
the commissioner.
E. Applications
for all drawings must be made in accordance with instructions.
F. The application deadline is the Friday
nearest May 1.
G. An application
fee, as prescribed in Minnesota Statutes, section
97A.431,
subdivision 3, must accompany each party's application. Any check returned to
the department for nonpayment invalidates the application and will be
destroyed. Refunds of application fees may not be made for any
reason.
H. There shall also be
alternate parties drawn from the pool of unsuccessful parties, from the general
drawing, in case successful parties decide not to purchase their permit.
Alternate parties shall not be notified that they are an alternate party unless
a successful party decides not to purchase a permit, in which event the
alternate party may purchase a moose license.
I. Successful applicants will receive
instructions for obtaining their licenses. Successful applicants must purchase
their moose licenses by the Friday closest to July 1. Applicants who fail to
purchase their license by the deadline forfeit their license and it will be
offered to an alternate party selected through the regular drawing.
