Establishes protections for landowners taking wildlife on the landowner's property

HB 2549 eliminates a requirement for landowners to register their property before obtaining a landowner hunting permit. It mandates that the wildlife commission issue such permits to any landowner (resident or nonresident) owning at least five acres of land. The bill also allows landowners to request a free two-day hunting permit for one nonresident immediate family member (spouse, child, parent, etc.) each calendar year, with a maximum of one such request annually. This changes existing rules by removing registration barriers and providing free permits for family hunting on the landowner's property.
