contiguous land is used only to determine if the applicant is eligible to apply

license/permits are valid in a designated portion of a hunting district, some
of the land owned by the applicant must be within the boundaries of that
portion.

nonresident landowners must use the special drawing application provided by the
department. The department shall verify that the applicant owns 640 acres, that
it is contiguous land used by elk, and that the designee of the landowner
preference is eligible.

family, a partner or an employee. Only one person may be delegated landowner
