2. An eligible organization may apply annually to be considered for issuance of up to two
special allocation hunting licenses under this section. Applications under this
subsection must be filed at the times, in the manner, and containing the information
required by rules adopted by the director. If more applications are filed than the
number of licenses under this section available for that species for a season, the
director shall determine by lottery which organizations will receive the available
licenses.

director requires. An individual may apply to receive an elk or moose license through a
raffle or auction under this section as well as through the game and fish department
general lottery. If an individual receives an elk or moose license under this section, the
individual is not eligible to receive an elk or moose license through the game and fish
department general lottery that year and may not obtain an elk or moose license under
section 20.1-05.1-01 that year. If an individual receives an elk or moose license under

under this section that year.
