What is the desired outcome?
Would a point system achieve that outcome?
How important is it to provide opportunity for new hunters and youths hunters?

Random Draw
Pulling names out of a hat
Each hunt is an independent lottery
Each year is an independent event
Each applicant has the same chances
![Page 8: Include targeted hunts in the FTR process Department](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/62a74c6fd4c2b4717d524c2c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
8
Advantages - Random Draw
It’s simple
Everyone is treated the same
Odds of winning are published
Relatively inexpensive to administer
![Page 9: Include targeted hunts in the FTR process Department](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/62a74c6fd4c2b4717d524c2c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
9
Disadvantages - Random Draw
The outcome is random – some applicants may never draw
Expectations – unsuccessful applicants are frustrated and may perceive the process to be unfair
Probability/independence of a random lottery are not well understood by all applicants
![Page 10: Include targeted hunts in the FTR process Department](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/62a74c6fd4c2b4717d524c2c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
Bonus points - additional chances Winners still selected by a random lottery
Applicants receive an additional chance in next year’s lottery if they are unsuccessful
Applicants must have a "customer" identificationnumber to track hunters through time
![Page 11: Include targeted hunts in the FTR process Department](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/62a74c6fd4c2b4717d524c2c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
Bonus points – Pros
Rewards persistence
It’s still possible for anyone to win
![Page 12: Include targeted hunts in the FTR process Department](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/62a74c6fd4c2b4717d524c2c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Bonus points – Cons Some hunters may never win
It may still take years to be selected
Bonus point systems are more costly and complicated to administer
Different fee system required
![Page 13: Include targeted hunts in the FTR process Department](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/62a74c6fd4c2b4717d524c2c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Preference Points An applicant gets one point for each year they are
unsuccessful
A drawing occurs for the applicants with thegreatest number of points
If permits remain, applicants at the next tier areincluded in a drawing
Each applicant must have a unique identificationnumber
To accumulate points, applicants must apply forthe same hunt or species every year (some expire)
![Page 14: Include targeted hunts in the FTR process Department](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/62a74c6fd4c2b4717d524c2c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Preference Points System – Pros Rewards persistence
Applicants with the most preference points havegreater chance of being drawn for a permit
Young or new applicants have some chance for being selected for a permit
![Page 15: Include targeted hunts in the FTR process Department](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/62a74c6fd4c2b4717d524c2c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Preference Points Systems – Cons
It may still take many, many years to win a popular hunt
First time applicants have no chance of being drawn
Preference point systems discourage young and new applicants
Applicant behavior plays a large role. May take years to have desiredaffects
Preference point systems are more costly and complicated toadminister
Require different fee system
![Page 16: Include targeted hunts in the FTR process Department](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/62a74c6fd4c2b4717d524c2c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
And everything in between
Most states offer a selection of options and combinations
Some states offer options by species or by hunt
All states get complaints about their process
![Page 17: Include targeted hunts in the FTR process Department](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/62a74c6fd4c2b4717d524c2c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

22
Summary
Point systems are more expensive and complicated to administer
Increasing odds for one group decreases odds for another group (e.g. first-time hunters and youth)
No matter which system, there are still no guarantees of drawing a permit
![Page 23: Include targeted hunts in the FTR process Department](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/62a74c6fd4c2b4717d524c2c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
No system is ideal
Each drawing method has pros and cons
Some states recommend avoiding a preference/bonus point system
Several states report satisfaction with their system
All states report that there are still dissatisfied hunters
![Page 24: Include targeted hunts in the FTR process Department](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/62a74c6fd4c2b4717d524c2c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

2009 board adopted a modified bonus point system for sheep and bison
50% awarded randomly and 50% through point system
Points accumulated at a rate of 2 per year on a species basis
All points forfeited for failure to consecutively apply (2 year grace period)
![Page 25: Include targeted hunts in the FTR process Department](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/62a74c6fd4c2b4717d524c2c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
2009 board adopted a modified bonus point system for sheep and bison
Board submitted a request to the legislature for a
$15 fee structure
Legislature did not adopt a fee structure for implementation
Regulation was not established
![Page 26: Include targeted hunts in the FTR process Department](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/62a74c6fd4c2b4717d524c2c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Department concerns if adopted Administrative challenges and costs
Difficulty identifying and tracking hunters through time
Will likely be perceived as unfair, particularly because odds are difficult to calculate for any applicant
Does not promote hunter recruitment
![Page 27: Include targeted hunts in the FTR process Department](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/62a74c6fd4c2b4717d524c2c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Locked into a point system and hunt structures as people accumulate points
Points have value and hunters will not want that value to change through regulatory or administrative changes
Value changes over time based on customer base and permit availability
Favors hunters who understand the system and is a disadvantage for less savvy hunters
![Page 28: Include targeted hunts in the FTR process Department](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/62a74c6fd4c2b4717d524c2c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Locked into a point system and hunt structures as people accumulate points
Resistance to changing hunt structures if people accumulate points for specific hunts
Very difficult to end a point system once it is in place
Administrative changes to point system will not be viewed favorably to the extent they are perceived to be disadvantageous
![Page 29: Include targeted hunts in the FTR process Department](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/62a74c6fd4c2b4717d524c2c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

In Unit 8 nonresident hunters hunting with resident relatives are issued permits from the resident permit allocation
Proposals have been considered that would apply the same allocation pattern to other areas.
Rationale has typically been that changes in the number of residents over time would also change:
the number of nonresident hunters hunting with resident relatives
the permit allocations between guided and unguided hunters
This proposal expresses the concern that the allocation pattern decreases resident opportunity and does not want it applied in other areas
![Page 49: Include targeted hunts in the FTR process Department](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/62a74c6fd4c2b4717d524c2c/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

sustained yield, management, enforcement – Hunt conditions provide opportunity for
subsistence pattern of use – Significant expense: time and money – Burdensome to hunt participants

Proposal 104 continued
• ADF&G neutral on allocative aspects, opposed to proposal: – Current reporting requirements adequate for
sustained yield, management, enforcement – New to many hunts – Significant expense: time and money: over 200
communities – Burdensome to hunt participants

Proposal 105
• 5 AAC 92.070(a). Tier II subsistence hunting permit point system. Modify the qualification under the Tier II subsistence hunting permit point system.
• Public proposal • Delete three current measurements of
“customary and direct dependence,” replace with single measurement
Proposal 105 1
![Page 60: Include targeted hunts in the FTR process Department](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/62a74c6fd4c2b4717d524c2c/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Proposal 105 continued
• Subsistence law (AS 16.05.258) – If harvestable portion not sufficient for reasonable
opportunity for subsistence uses, board must distinguish among users through limitations on 1. Customary and direct dependence on the game
population by the subsistence user for human consumption as a mainstay of livelihood
2. Ability of subsistence user to obtain food if subsistence use is restricted or eliminated
Proposal 105 2
![Page 61: Include targeted hunts in the FTR process Department](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/62a74c6fd4c2b4717d524c2c/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Proposal 105 continued
• Current measurements of “customary and direct dependence” = up to 85 points 1. Number of years applicant hunted or eaten from
Tier II population = up to 50 points; plus 2. Number of years household hunted or eaten
from Tier II population = up to 10 points; plus 3. Amount of time applicant spent in
noncommercial harvesting in hunt area boundary = up to 25 points
Proposal 105 3

Proposal 105 continued
• ADF&G neutral on allocative aspects, opposed to this proposal – Unlikely that new regulation would be in
compliance with AS 16.05.258(b)(4)(B)(i) • “Customary and direct dependence on the game
population by the subsistence user…”

Changes in permit hunt type (Tier I or Tier II) may only occur during in sequence with the permit application cycle
Department: Neutral
Department Proposal
![Page 66: Include targeted hunts in the FTR process Department](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/62a74c6fd4c2b4717d524c2c/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
51
Issue:
Permit hunt types are evaluated and implemented based on regulatory year in which the hunt occurs
Permit application process occurs in Nov/Dec
Collection of survey data and biological information
Can occur after application period is over
May indicate a need to change hunt type based on ANS
![Page 67: Include targeted hunts in the FTR process Department](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/62a74c6fd4c2b4717d524c2c/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
52
Issue:
Changing hunt types outside of the permit application process is expensive and time consuming
May need to revoke permits
Announce new application period
Collect and process applications
Notify winners and distribute permits
May result in a cancellation of the hunt
![Page 68: Include targeted hunts in the FTR process Department](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/62a74c6fd4c2b4717d524c2c/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
53
Recommended Solution:
Adopt a regulation that specifies that new permits and changes in hunt types will only occur during the normal cycle for permit applications
![Page 69: Include targeted hunts in the FTR process Department](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/62a74c6fd4c2b4717d524c2c/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)

56
Intent: provide discretion on how undersubscribed permits are issued by the department
5AAC 92.052(23). Except as otherwise provided, if a drawing permit is undersubscribed, surplus permits may be made available at the division of wildlife conservation office responsible for the management of the applicable hunt ; [.]
Surplus permits are not subject to the limitations in 5AAC 92.050(2) and (4)(F)
![Page 72: Include targeted hunts in the FTR process Department](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/62a74c6fd4c2b4717d524c2c/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
57
Concern: Galena Management Area
5 AAC 92.050(2) limits hunters to one drawing permit per species
5AAC 92.050(4)(F) prevents successful applicants from holding permit in consecutive years
Proponent believes that removing these restrictions is not consistent with the original intent to distribute hunters
Removal of the permit restrictions has not been identified as a problem in other hunt areas
