(1) When deer, elk, pronghorn or moose are causing damage to cultivated crops on cleared and planted land, or livestock forage, fences or irrigation equipment on private land, or are determined to be nuisance, antlerless or doe hunts not listed in the guidebook of the Wildlife Board for taking big game may be held. These hunts occur on short notice, involve small areas, and are limited to only a few hunters.
(2) Depredation or nuisance animal hunters shall be selected using:
(a) hunters possessing an antlerless deer, elk, moose or doe pronghorn permit for that unit;
(b) hunters from the alternate drawing list for that unit; or
(c) the depredation hunter pool pursuant to Section R657-44-9.
(3) The division may contact hunters to participate in a depredation or nuisance hunt prior to the general or limited entry hunt for a given species of big game. Hunters who do not possess an antlerless deer, elk, moose or doe pronghorn permit shall purchase an appropriate permit.
(4) Hunters with depredation or nuisance hunt permits for antlerless deer, elk, or moose may not possess any other permit for those species, except as provided in the guidebook of the Wildlife Board for taking big game and Rule R657-5.
