elk tag opportunity available for Tribal member hunters The Tribal Natural Resources Department once again will offer a limited number of landowner preference (LOP) elk tags to Tribal members for this fall’s hunting season. As a landowner, the Tribe is eligible to participate in the State’s LOP program. Based on the number of acres the Tribe owns, we can get six additional antlerless elk tags from the State. These LOP tags are not related to the Tribe’s Consent Decree tags that we receive each year. They are based solely on the Tribe being a landowner. There are a number of important differences between the LOP tags and the Tribe’s regular tags. These are summarized in the table below. State license required? Area to be hunted Tribal Tags LOP Tags No Yes Only on Tribal land within the unit selected dur- Anywhere within the specific tag’s ing that unit’s antlerless elk season.

The drawing for the six LOP elk tags will be held at the Natural Resources Committee meeting on April 7 at 4:45 p.m. in the Natural Resources Department Map Room. Applications are available on the Tribal website and at the Tribal Natural Resources Office in Siletz. Completed applications are due in the Natural Resources office by 4:30 p.m. on April 4.
