  1 11 nonresident hunting license, pay the wildlife habitat fee, and
  1 12 pay the one dollar fee for the purpose of deer herd population
  1 13 management as provided in subsection 3.  Pursuant to this
  1 14 subsection, the commission shall make available for issuance
  1 15 only the remaining nonresident antlerless deer hunting
  1 16 licenses allocated under subsection 3 that have not yet been
  1 17 issued for the current year's nonresident antlerless deer
  1 18 hunting seasons.
