This bill requires DNR to establish an additional season for hunting deer with firearms that begins on February 4, 2010, and that continues through February 7, 2010. Under the bill, the additional season is only open for deer hunting by residents of this state who were outside of this state serving on active duty in the U.S. armed forces or national guard during the regular firearm deer season that began on November 21, 2009. The bill specifies that a person who hunts during this additional season must, upon DNR's request, provide satisfactory evidence to DNR that he or she meets the requirements for hunting during this additional season.
