The number of pheasants allowed taken under a Wildlife Management Area permit would drop from 10 to four.

In an attempt to regain some nonresident hunting revenue, nonresident deer tag holders could also use that tag for a mountain lion or bear instead of deer.

After Aug. 15, if nonresident deer or elk tags remain unsold, resident hunters could purchase one as a second tag at the nonresident price.
