III. WORKSHEET
Range Maximum (100%):
[4,575 (number of hunters that potentially may purchase a Nonresident Fall Turkey Hunting Permit) X $135.50 (cost of Nonresident Fall Turkey Hunting Permit)] + [115 (number of youth hunters that potentially may purchase a Nonresident Fall Turkey Hunting Permit) X $7.00 (cost of youth Nonresident Fall Turkey Hunting Permit)] = $619,912.50 + $805 = $620,717.50
Range Minimum (10%):
[458 (number of hunters that potentially may purchase a Nonresident Fall Turkey Hunting Permit) X $135.50 (cost of Nonresident Fall Turkey Hunting Permit)] + [12 (number of youth hunters that potentially may purchase a Nonresident Fall Turkey Hunting Permit) X $7.00 (cost of youth Nonresident Fall Turkey Hunting Permit)] = $62,059 + $84 = $62,143
- ASSUMPTIONS
For calendar year 2022, there were 4,575 nonresidents and 115 nonresident youth, or 4,690 total, that harvested a turkey utilizing a Nonresident Archer’s Hunting Permit but did not purchase a Nonresident Fall Turkey Firearms Permit. If the proposed amendment is adopted then those hunters wishing to harvest a turkey with archery methods would now need to purchase a Nonresident Fall Turkey Permit (proposed title change from Nonresident Fall Turkey Firearms Permit). We do not expect 4,690 individuals to now purchase a Nonresident Fall Turkey Hunting Permit, based upon anecdotal reports that most turkeys historically taken on a Nonresident Archer’s Hunting Permit were opportunistically taken by deer. For the purpose of this fiscal note, we will estimate a range for those individuals who may now choose to purchase a Nonresident Fall Turkey Hunting Permit. As such, 4,690 (100%) we will estimate to be the maximum, and we will use 10% (470) of those individuals to be the estimated minimum.
