What it does

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.
