How often do allocations come up forsale?

Purchase a Mule Deer, Moose or Pronghorn allocation for your favorite WMU and hunt it every year for life.
In essence, this would equate to the privatization of Our Wildlife.

Yet, the way our Outfitter allocations work, while Residents can't purchase allocations for their own use, NR Aliens CAN and absolutely do so.
So we attempt to prevent Resident from owning our Wildlife while allowing NR Aliens to....
