The department shall set aside for landowner applications, as
described in §
41:06:01:07, fifty percent of any
licenses that are limited in number and issued by application and computer
drawing, for the Black Hills deer hunting season, the West River deer hunting
season except for special buck licenses, the East River deer hunting season
except for special buck licenses, the antelope hunting season except for
special antelope licenses, the spring wild turkey hunting season, and the fall
wild turkey hunting season. If an applicant is unsuccessful in drawing a
license for a first-choice unit in the initial drawing for a specific season,
the applicant shall receive a preference point for that season if the applicant
chooses to purchase a preference point. The preference point fee must be waived
for any person who is or was age 15 or younger in the same year when the
preference point is acquired for any deer season described in §
41:06:01:08.01. Any applicant for
the first combined drawing of these deer seasons who meets this same age
requirement and has never drawn a first-choice license must receive an
additional preference point upon submission of an application. For elk, bighorn
sheep, mountain goat, and free access permits, the applicant must receive a
preference point at no charge if the applicant applies for one of these seasons
in the first draw and is unsuccessful. Preference points shall be applied to a
subsequent initial drawing or may be used in a leftover license drawing
application submitted by the applicant for the season in which the preference
points were earned. No additional preference points may be issued if an
applicant decides to use preference points in a drawing for leftover licenses
and is unsuccessful in the draw. A person who obtains a leftover license using
preference points may not acquire a preference point for that
season.
