What’s in it

AI summary The Department of Natural Resources would change when young hunters can buy their deer licenses and tags. Instead of having a limited time to buy them, youth licenses would be available at the same time as general licenses. This change would allow kids to purchase licenses for any of the regular deer hunting seasons.1

Read the official explanation
