(1) The department shall award permits/licenses through a random order selection process conducted pursuant to a computerized system of drawing. Each eligible applicant in the drawing will receive a number of additional draw opportunities equal to the number of bonus points the applicant has accumulated.

(2) Each drawing to award a permit/license is subject to the bonus point program for eligible applicants for each species in the first-choice district only. The applicant has the burden of proving applicant's eligibility to participate in the bonus point program if the department records fail to confirm applicant's eligibility.

(3) The bonus point program is optional and will be accumulated separately for each species.

(4) Landowners will be eligible for the bonus point program in the landowner drawings.

(5) Nonresidents who are unsuccessful in the nonresident combination license drawing will have the opportunity to participate in the bonus point system for special elk and/or deer permits for the appropriate fee for that year without being eligible to draw the permit.
