(a)
				  Fund-raising buck pronghorn antelope license tags:
Fund-raising license tags for the taking of buck pronghorn
					 antelope shall be offered for sale for the purpose of raising funds for the
					 management of pronghorn antelope. The department may conduct a random drawing
					 to distribute fund-raising tags. Any resident or nonresident is eligible to buy
					 one of the fund-raising license tags. The sale price of a fund-raising license
					 tag includes the fee for processing and issuing an annual hunting license for
					 the purchaser or any person designated by the purchaser. A fund-raising license
					 tag distributed through a department random drawing does not include the fee
					 for processing and issuing a hunting license. The purchasers shall be issued
					 the fund-raising license tag only after meeting the hunter education
					 requirements for a hunting license.
