Type 9 is an archery-only license; WGFD lists its season in the regular-season columns.

Commission quota: 100 (total licenses for this hunt set in regulation; WGFD’s draw reports split licenses across resident / nonresident / special pools, so per-pool draw numbers on this site will not add up to this total in a simple way).
