subsection (2) of this section, in the hunt unit determined by
the State Department of Fish and Wildlife to be habitat for the
deer, elk or antelope found on the landowner's land.
  ' (2) To qualify to use landowner preference tags in a hunt
unit determined by the department to be habitat for the deer, elk
or antelope found on the landowner's land, the landowner must
experience crop, forage crop or pasture damage caused by deer,
elk or antelope and the department must verify the damage on the
landowner's land once every five years. Damage to rangeland is
not damage to crop, forage crop or pasture.

consultation with the State Department of Agriculture, develop a
process to verify crop, forage crop or pasture damage.

landowner preference tag under ORS 496.146 (4) that is
transferable to any person of the landowner's choosing to be used
for the taking of an antlered animal if the number of deer, elk
or antelope estimated to exist in the area limited by quota is
higher than the population management objective established by
the commission for that area. + } ' .
