HF 218: Relating to using unfilled deer tags in subsequent seasons
Died when the session ended · The 2020 session adjourned on June 14, 2020, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.
What it does
This bill allows a resident or nonresident hunter to use an unfilled deer tag in a subsequent deer hunting season if the hunter failed to take a deer in the season being hunted. For purposes of a resident apprentice and a resident mentor hunting deer, deer tags are considered valid for the same season when the resident apprentice or the resident mentor uses an unfilled deer tag from a prior season as long as the person using the tag uses the method of take authorized by rule for the season being hunted.
