Relates to deer management permits; repealer
This bill allows the state to issue special deer management permits in the northern zone, enabling hunters to take one additional deer beyond their regular license limit. The permits would be available until December 31, 2027, and are intended to help manage deer populations in areas where the herd size exceeds available food and habitat. The legislation repeals an existing provision that previously excluded the northern zone from similar deer management rules. Hunters in the northern zone would be directly affected by this change, while the state wildlife department would be responsible for creating specific regulations to implement the program.
