May 20, 2010
The deadline to enter the
first Super Hunt drawing of 2010 is May 31.
The Super Hunt is a
fund-raising drawing for 40 big game tags. The tags are handed out to 34 winners
in two drawings. Entries are drawn for elk, deer, pronghorn, and moose tags.
Winners can participate in any open hunt in the state for deer, elk, pronghorn
or moose. That includes general hunts and controlled hunts.
The first drawing on June 16
will be for eight elk, eight deer, and eight pronghorn hunts as well as one
moose hunt; one "Super Hunt Combo" entry also will be drawn that will entitle
the winner to hunt for one each elk, deer, pronghorn and moose.
A second drawing will be Aug.
15 when another "Super Hunt Combo" and entries for two elk, two deer, and two
pronghorn hunts along with one moose hunt will be drawn. The entry period for
the second drawing is June 2 through Aug. 11.
Hunters can take an animal or
animals on their Super Hunt or Super Hunt Combo tags in addition to any general
season or controlled hunt tags they also hold.
Hunters who win any Super Hunt
tag may still enter controlled hunts except where other restrictions apply. All
other rules of individual hunts apply.
Money raised by the drawings
goes to Fish and Game's Access Yes! Program and helps compensate private land
owners who provide sportsmen access to or across their land to public land
beyond.
Entries in the first Super
Hunt and Super Hunt Combo drawing must be made by May 31 with the drawing set
for June 15. The first Super Hunt entry will cost $6. Each additional entry
purchased at the same time will cost $4. The Super Hunt Combo entries work the
same way. The first one costs $20, and each additional entry purchased at the
same time will cost $16.
