Hunting & Trapping Digest 2008-2009 - (Page 85) 2008-2009 BOBCAT HARVEST PERMIT APPLICATION Be sure to include your $5 nonrefundable application fee. Individuals who received a bobcat permit last year cannot apply this year. Nonresidents with valid furtaker licenses may apply for bobcat permits. Beginning in the 2003-04 license year, unsuccessful applicants will be granted preference in future drawings. To participate in the preference system, you must provide your Social Security Number (SSN). For each unsuccessful application, one point will be added to your record. When a furtaker with preference points applies for a bobcat permit, his or her name is added to the drawing an extra time for each preference point they have accumulated. Thus, a person applying unsuccessfully in 200304 through the 2007-08 license year who applies this year will be entered six times. Preference points are carried forward until an applicant is drawn,* and there is no requirement that applications be made in consecutive years to retain preference points. However, applicants must apply in order to have their preference points used for a given license year. * Because the selection process is random, it’s possible that a person can keep accumulating preference points and yet never be selected. It’s also possible that some applicants may be selected multiple times over the years. So, new this year, persons with the maximum number of preference points will be automatically awarded a bobcat permit during the upcoming season. Models based on past trends in the applicant database suggest that this benefit can be provided without negating the chance of a new applicant receiving a permit or significantly reducing the odds of applicants with lesser preference point status.
