WHAT IS LIMITED ENTRY HUNTING?
Limited Entry Hunting, or LEH, is a system by which hunting opportunities are
awarded to resident hunters based on a lottery, or random draw.
The purpose of LEH is to achieve wildlife management objectives without
resorting to such measures as shortening seasons or completely closing areas.
LEH seasons are introduced where it has become necessary to limit the number
of hunters, limit the number of animals that may be taken, or limit the harvest to a
certain class of animal.
The following nine species of game are available under LEH: Bison, Caribou, Elk,
Grizzly Bear, Moose, Mountain Goat, Mountain Sheep, Mule (Black-tailed) Deer,
and White-tailed Deer.
Although ‘general’ open seasons may precede or coincide with LEH seasons for
the same species in the same area, the class of animal available during the ‘general’
open season will often be different from the class of animal available during the LEH
seasons.
