     "Dog owner" means a person that owns and hunts with dogs that are capable of detecting, tracking and treeing a cougar.

     "Quota" means the targeted harvest goal. The actual harvest level may exceed the quota.

     "Kill permit" allows a hunter to pursue or kill cougar.

     "Pursuit permit" allows a hunter to pursue cougar.

     (1) The pilot cougar-hunting season will allow use of dogs to hunt cougar. The hunts will consist of pursuit-or-kill seasons and pursuit-only seasons, and are allowed only in Chelan, Okanogan, Ferry, Stevens, and Pend Oreille counties.

     (2) Pursuit-or-kill seasons:

     Cougar may be pursued or killed with the aid of dogs from December 1, ((2005)) 2006, until the female zone quota has been killed, the total zone quota has been killed, or March 31, ((2006)) 2007, whichever occurs first; EXCEPT GMUs 101 and 204 where cougar may be pursued or killed from January 1, ((2006)) 2007, until the female zone quota has been killed, the total zone quota has been killed, or March 31, ((2006)) 2007, whichever occurs first.

     (3) Pursuit-only seasons:

     (a) If a zone quota is killed prior to March 31, ((2006)) 2007, cougar may be pursued with dogs in all or portions of that zone until March 31, ((2006)) 2007. Hunters may only pursue cougars in designated pursuit only areas identified on their kill or pursuit-only permit. Hunters may not kill cougar during pursuit-only seasons.

     (b) Hunters selected for the pursuit-or-kill season (accompanied by up to three of their identified handlers) may participate in a pursuit-only season. Permit hunters that harvest a cougar under a kill permit may continue to pursue cougars until March 31.

The director will identify the number of pursuit-only hunters selected.

     (4) Hunt areas and kill quotas:

     Cougar seasons will be based on a quota system, where permit hunters using dogs may hunt and kill cougar until the allotted numbers of cougar have been killed from each hunt zone or March 31, ((2006)) 2007, whichever occurs first.

     (a) Kill quotas start September 1 and will include all cougar killed during seasons with and without the aid of dogs, including cougar seasons under this section, cougar seasons without the aid of dogs authorized under WAC 232-28-272, depredation permits, landowner kill permits, and WDFW depredation authority.

     (b) Individual problem cougar will continue to be killed on an as-needed basis utilizing depredation permits, landowner kill permits, and WDFW depredation authority even if these kills result in exceeding a zone quota.

Hunters who hunt more than one consecutive day must call the quota hotline once daily to determine if the zone quota is killed. Hunters who harvest a cougar with the aid of dogs must notify the department within twenty-four hours of kill (excluding legal state holidays) and provide the hunter's name, date and location of kill, and sex of animal. The raw pelt of a cougar, with proof of sex naturally attached, must be sealed by an authorized department employee within five days of the notification of kill.

     (d) A permit will not be issued to any person who has been convicted of unlawful use of dogs under RCW 77.15.245 within the five-year period prior to December 1, 2004. Any person issued a permit and who is subsequently convicted of any wildlife offense while participating in a pursuit-or-kill or pursuit-only season, or who violates any condition of the permit, will have the permit revoked and will be ineligible to participate in the remainder of the three-year pilot program.

     (7) Permit issuance procedure:

     (a) The number of kill permits for a pursuit-or-kill season with the aid of dogs may be established by the director, but will not exceed two times the total cougar quota for each hunt zone.

     (b) The department will issue kill or pursuit-only permits to the persons whose applications are drawn at random. Individuals selected will be notified by telephone or mail. Individuals selected must return the signed affidavit to the department's wildlife program in Olympia within fifteen days of being notified. Failure to return the completed affidavit to the department will result in forfeit of the permit. Kill and pursuit-only permits may not be sold or reassigned.

     (c) If a female zone quota or total zone quota is not killed in a hunt zone by January 15 (or sooner as identified by the director), then the department will issue kill permits to additional hunters.

     (d) Individuals selected for a cougar kill or pursuit-only permit may use dog handlers. However, no more than three handlers may accompany the permittee while hunting or pursuing cougar. Dog handlers may not pursue cougar when the permit hunter is not present at the time the dogs are released from a leash or unrestrained. Dog handlers must have a dog handler identification card, issued by the department, in their possession while participating in a pursuit-or-kill season or pursuit-only season.

     (e) Dog handlers must be a Washington resident and possess a valid hunting license.

     (f) It is unlawful to kill or possess spotted cougar kittens or adult cougars accompanied by spotted kittens.

     (g) Participants must have a vehicle placard issued by the department. The vehicle placard must be placed in the permittee's and dog handler's vehicles and be visible from outside the vehicles at all times while hunting or pursuing cougar.

At the end of each day hunting cougar, the permit hunters must record their hunting activities, including that of their dog handlers, in their logbook. If requested by department staff, permit hunters must provide the logbook for inspection. Logbooks must be mailed to the department at WDFW-Pilot Cougar Hunt, 600 Capitol Way North, Olympia, WA 98501-1091 by April 10, ((2006)) 2007. A violation of this requirement under this subsection is punishable as an infraction under RCW 77.15.160.

     (9) The permit belongs to the state of Washington. The permit holder may be required to return to or turn over to the department the permit when, in the judgment of the department, the permit holder violates any conditions of the permit, violates trespass laws while acting under this permit, or violates any other criminal law or hunting regulation of the state while acting under this permit. If the permit holder is required to return to or turn over to the department the permit, the permit holder may request an appeal of that action in accordance with chapter 34.05 RCW. Appeal request shall be filed in writing and returned within twenty days of the date of action and be addressed to WDFW Legal Services Office, 600 Capitol Way North, Olympia, Washington 98501-1091.
