Section 640.50  Acceptance or Rejection of Applications

a)         Incomplete or inadequate applications shall be returned to the applicant with a summary of deficiencies.

b)         Incomplete or inadequate applications may be completed and re-submitted within 15 days or until the end of the application period, whichever is longer.

c)         Applications will be accepted from January 15 through July 15, inclusive. Addendums adding acreage may be filed through September 30.

d)         Outfitters that allow deer/turkey populations to increase to the point that they have an abnormal detrimental impact on crops, public safety or environmental conditions in the immediate area shall be notified of the impact or effect.  If, after one year, no reasonable effort has been made to resolve the impact or effect, the outfitter shall be warned that remedial action must be taken or his outfitter permit will not be renewed.  If, after the warning, the outfitter does not institute a reasonable remedial action, his application for renewal shall be rejected and he shall be ineligible for an outfitter permit for a year.  Eligibility for a new permit shall be dependent upon submission of a complete new application along with a management plan detailing actions or modifications to be employed to remedy the problem and responsibly manage the wildlife.

e)         Full applications shall be required every 5 years.  The annual renewal shall consist of tender of the appropriate fee and proof of insurance and notice of any changes from the current application or certification that there are no changes from the previous year, as well as a report of harvest, listing number of hunter days, and total number of male and number of female deer and/or turkey taken, regardless of whether the hunter was a paying client or a free hunter.
