- ASSUMPTIONS
For the permit year 2023, we estimate 4,388 nonresidents purchasing a Nonresident Archery Antlerless Deer Hunting Permit. This estimate is based on permit year 2021 sales minus 5%, as historically permit sales are in a slight downward trend.
The commission based its proposed permit-price increases on information from the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Price Index (CPI) related to cost-of-living increases from 2008 to 2022. CPI is a commonly used measurement of the average changes over time in prices paid by consumers for consumer goods and services. The commission is recommending a gradual price increase over 10 years at a CPI of 75% for resident permits and 100% for non-resident and commercial permits.
