Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(1) With each issued permit or tag, a person may take only one of a species of protected wildlife during a license year, regardless of how many licenses or permits the person obtains, except as otherwise provided by this title or a proclamation of the Wildlife Board.

(2)(a) If a person kills an animal in violation of this title, while attempting to exercise the benefits of an issued permit or tag, the permit or tag is invalid and the person shall forfeit the permit or tag to the division.

(b) This Subsection (2) does not apply if:

(i) a citation is issued for a rule violation described in Subsection (2)(a); or

(ii) a warning citation for a violation described in Subsection (2)(a) is issued.

(3) The division may grant a season extension to a valid, unfilled permit opportunity that was invalidated and forfeited under Subsection (2) if:

(a) the criminal charges associated with the permit forfeiture are dismissed, with prejudice, by action of the prosecutor or court, or acquittal of the charges at trial;

(b) the person issued the permit that is forfeited requests the division in writing within 60 days of a final action dismissing or acquitting that person of the criminal charges that led to the permit forfeiture;

(c) the season extension is granted for the same species and sex, hunt unit, and season dates associated with the forfeited permit, as established by the Wildlife Board in the hunt year of the extension; and

(d) the extension occurs in the first season immediately following dismissal of or acquittal on the criminal charges described in Subsection (3)(a).
