Division staff reviewed proposed CWMU (Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit) and landowner permit recommendations and clarified changes not fully detailed in the presentation. A notable adjustment: Salt Wells CWMU will drop 28,814 private acres from its CWMU, reducing its footprint and resulting in permit changes (including a reduction of deer and 10 pronghorn permits in staff recommendations).

Staff also described Blackhawk adding one private buck tag, Indian Head increasing to six bull-elk permits after prior reductions, and Patmos Ridge participating in reciprocal/donated-hunt programs (providing permits to disabled hunters under the reciprocal rules). RAC members asked which specific rule reasons allowed reciprocal placement; staff confirmed Patmos Ridge used the reciprocal/donated-hunt option and clarified the five rule criteria in discussion.

After clarifications and questions answered by staff and regional representatives, the RAC moved and approved the CWMU and landowner permit recommendations as presented, the motion passing unanimously.
