What’s in it
AI summary People who live on or rent farmland can now use their special deer hunting licenses during any open season. Instead of picking specific seasons ahead of time, they can choose which season to hunt in later. This change allows them to use any approved hunting method available during those seasons.1
Read the official explanation
This bill relates to special landowner deer hunting licenses. The bill allows the two special deer hunting licenses issued to resident landowners or tenants, or their family members, to be used without first designating the season of use for the license. The bill allows the licenses to be used in any open season using a method of take authorized for that season. Current law specifies that the licenses may only be used during any bow or firearm deer hunting season and for harvesting deer during two different seasons.
