Ask Fish and Game: X Hunts

Q. In 2006, I drew an elk permit in a controlled X hunt in January, and now I can't enter the X hunt drawing for next year. Why not? A. Hunters who entered controlled hunt drawings in 2006 for X hunts in early 2007 and were drawn can't enter controlled X hunts this year. Controlled hunts 74X and 76-4X for extra antlerless elk ran Jan. 1 - 31, 2007. The license computer sees they already have a controlled X hunt tag for 2007 and won't let them apply - even though the tag they buy if they draw would be for a hunt in January 2008. But they can enter drawings for other controlled hunts.
