What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current rules promulgated by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR)

provide that with each license that DNR issues to a person who is under 18 years of

age that authorizes deer hunting with a firearm, DNR must also issue a carcass tag

that authorizes the taking of one antlerless deer in specified locations in this state

(youth carcass tag). Current law also authorizes a person who is a member of a group

hunting party to kill a deer for another member of the party if the person who kills

the deer is in contact with the person for whom the deer is killed and the person for

whom the deer is killed possess a current unused deer carcass tag.

This bill prohibits a member of a group deer hunting party from using a youth

carcass tag issued to another member of the party in order to kill an antlerless deer

for the member of the party holding the youth carcass tag.
