This bill imposes certain restrictions on the Department of Natural Resources's regulation of deer hunting in the northern forest zone deer management area.

Read the full summary Show less
The bill prohibits DNR from issuing to a person more than one authorization to kill an antlered deer in the northern forest zone during either an open season for hunting deer with a muzzle-loading firearm or an open season for hunting deer with a firearm. However, the bill provides that if a person is issued such an authorization but does not use it for the season for which it was issued, the person may use it during the other season.
Similarly, the bill prohibits DNR from issuing a person more than one authorization to kill an antlered deer in the northern forest zone during either an open season for hunting deer with a bow and arrow or an open season for hunting deer with a crossbow. If a person is issued such an authorization but does not use it during the season for which it was issued, the person may use it during the other season.
The bill sunsets these restrictions after four years.
