What’s in it
This bill relates to deer depredation. The bill directs the department of natural resources to issue deer shooting permits to a landowner who incurs crop, horticultural product, tree, or nursery damage of $1,000 or more due to wild animals. The bill creates a designated deer depredation season from January through January 31. A person possessing a deer depredation license and tag or deer shooting permit may use a rifle with an approved cartridge, a shotgun, a muzzleloader, a handgun, a crossbow, or a bow during the designated season.
