What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, any member of a group deer hunting party may kill a deer

for another member of the party if, at the time and place of the kill, the person who

kills the deer is in contact with the person for whom the deer is killed.

2017

Wisconsin Act 59

, which eliminated all requirements relating to deer carcass tags,

also eliminated an exception to this general authorization that prohibited a member

of a group deer hunting party from using a youth deer tag issued to another member

of the party under the age of 18 to kill an antlerless deer for that other member. This

bill restores this exception by prohibiting a member of a group deer hunting party

from killing an antlerless deer for another member of the party who has been issued

a youth deer hunting license.
