(2) Controlled hunt tag numbers for 2012 are listed in Tables 1 and 2 and are adopted and incorporated in OAR chapter 635, division 071 by reference.
(3) OAR chapter 635, division 071 incorporates, by reference, the requirements for hunting Rocky Mountain elk set out in the document entitled “2013 Oregon Big Game Regulations,” into Oregon Administrative Rules.
