ARSD 41:06:46:04. Random drawing to determine inclusion in pool

The department shall conduct a random drawing of the names of applicants whose completed applications are received prior to December 31. The department shall place applicants in the pool of standby hunters in the order in which their names are drawn. Inclusion in the pool makes a standby hunter eligible to be selected for issuance of a depredation permit. Those persons who submitted applications from January 1 through March 31 may be placed on the list immediately following the last qualified pool hunter in the first random drawing, and will be added on a first-come, first-served basis.
