Minnesota Administrative Rules

6232.1000 APPLICATION PROCESS FOR CAMP RIPLEY ARCHERY HUNT.

Subpart 1.

Preference drawing.

If the number of applications for Camp Ripley archery hunt permits exceeds the quota in the annual hunting regulations, a preference drawing shall be used to select permit holders. A person may enter the preference drawing by supplying the person's driver's license number, official state identification number, or 13-digit firearms safety identification number on the application. Applicants establish a preference rating based on the number of times they have applied in previous years and have not obtained a permit. The preference rating increases each year the applicant applies unsuccessfully. Persons applying for the first time have no preference. Applicants receiving a permit lose their accrued preference.

Subp. 2.

Group selection.

Up to four persons may apply as a group. Either all members of a group will be selected or none will be selected. The preference rating of applicants who apply as a group is based on the individual in the group with the lowest preference. All group members must apply for the same time period.

Subp. 3.

Applicants for permits must:

A.

be at least 12 years of age prior to the third Thursday in October;
