A bill for an act relating to the purchasing of a youth deer hunting license and tag.

SF 331 requires Iowa's Department of Natural Resources to sell youth deer hunting licenses during the same periods as general licenses, including all established hunting seasons. It allows youth license holders to use their license and tag in the season it was issued or any future season, provided they follow the season's authorized hunting methods. However, if a youth hunter uses their tag (fills it) during a season, the license becomes invalid for subsequent seasons. This bill directly affects young hunters purchasing licenses for deer hunting in Iowa.
