Limited license numbers are established to maintain big game herds at or near long-term population objectives, and, in the case of antlered deer, antlered elk, antlered moose and buck pronghorn they are also set to achieve sex-ratio objectives. The herd objectives are intended to maintain healthy populations, provide a diversity of hunting opportunities for residents and nonresidents, allow and maintain public recreational opportunity, minimize or control local game damage situations on private land and provide opportunity for landowners to cooperatively manage wildlife with the Division through the Ranching for Wildlife program. Further information regarding specific highlights of these annual changes is provided in this package. Additionally, this mailing includes final regulations amending the definition of agricultural land related to the Landowner Preference Program to include lands used for agricultural purposes that are classified by the local jurisdiction based on ownership by a non-profit organization, home owners association, or other similar organization or association.
