What’s in it
AI summary If you buy a bow hunting license but don't catch a deer, you can use that same license during the late muzzleloader season or the following January antlerless deer season. People using their license during the January antlerless deer season are also allowed to hunt with a crossbow.1
Read the official explanation
Pursuant to current rules, the natural resource commission (NRC) may establish an antlerless deer only deer hunting season from January through the second Sunday after that date if there are at least 100 unsold antlerless deer only deer hunting licenses in the county on the third Monday in December preceding the season.8, subsection 9. This bill allows a person who was unsuccessful in taking a deer during a bow season established by NRC by rule while using a bow season deer hunting license to use the license and unfilled tag during the late muzzleloader season or the January antlerless deer hunting season that follows the bow season for which the license and tag were valid. A person hunting pursuant to the bill is authorized to hunt using a crossbow during the January antlerless deer hunting season.
