The department will recommend to the Fish and Wildlife Commission the species to be selected for the resident super-tag for each license year.(2) The department will conduct a drawing to select the resident super-tag winner.(3) A person must be a resident, as defined in 87-2-102, MCA, and must be legally eligible to be licensed for a super-tag species to receive a resident super-tag.(4) The resident super-tag is valid for the taking of one animal of the species for which it was issued and is valid only for the current license year. A resident super-tag may be used in any legally described hunting district with an established season for that species. The person using the resident super-tag may use it only during a hunting district's established season and is subject to all hunting regulations, including special weapons regulations, that apply to a hunting district. However, a resident super-tag is not subject to an established quota in a hunting district.(5) A participant in the resident super-tag lottery may also apply for moose, sheep, and goat licenses under 87-2-701, MCA, and ARM 12.3.620 and participate in the super-tag lottery established in 87-1-271, MCA and ARM 12.3.622. In the event that a person is drawn for a moose, sheep, or goat license and a resident super-tag for that species in a single license year, the person must surrender that license to the department before receiving the resident super-tag. The department will refund the license fee paid by the winner of the resident super-tag. The person winning the resident super-tag shall retain any accumulated bonus points for that species.(6) The resident super-tag is a nontransferable license. However, the successful resident super-tag holder may, prior to August 1, request to return the license and that license may be re-issued to the next entry-holder in the sequence of the original drawing.NEW, 2024 MAR p. 2135, Eff. 9/7/2024AUTH: 87-1-275, 87-1-301, MCA; IMP: 87-1-275, MCA
