Names of the selected hunters will be posted at the Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources and at hunting license sales outlets at least 15 days prior to the season. Hunters selected in the lottery may then purchase tag at the Office of the Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources, Mangilao. Any tags not claimed within three days of the season will be forfeited and reissued to any qualified hunters on a first come, first served basis. §11206. Checking Stations.
