What’s in it
AI summary Right now, people can only use deer depredation licenses during September, October, November, and December. This change would allow those licenses to be used during the January antlerless deer hunting season in any county. This applies even if that specific county isn't normally part of the January hunting season.1
Read the official explanation
This bill relates to the use of deer depredation licenses. Current law requires the department of natural resources (DNR) to allow deer depredation licenses to be used in the months of September, October, November, and December. The bill requires DNR to also allow the use of deer depredation licenses in any county during the same time period as the January antlerless deer only hunting season established pursuant to Code section 483A.8(9), even if the county in which the license is used does not qualify for the January antlerless deer only hunting season.
