Special Hunts Provided By Charitable Organizations

The Executive Director may allow for hunting devices proclaimed for a specific season to be substituted by a different device in order to accommodate hunters 18 years of age and under who are diagnosed with a life threatening illness and who are being provided with a hunt from a charitable organization. Such organization must be properly incorporated and approved by the Internal Revenue Service as organizations that are exempt from federal income tax under § 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, codified in 26 U.S.C. § 501(a), by virtue of being organizations described in § 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, codified in 26 U.S.C. § 501(c)(3). Such organizations must make requests to the Executive Director in writing prior to any requested hunt, and the individual in question must be 18 years of age or younger and diagnosed with a medically certified life threatening illness. All other laws, regulations and proclamations pertaining to hunting will remain in effect. The individual will be required to have all requisite licenses and permits. No requests for elk hunts will be allowed pursuant to this part.
