HB 2692 Deer or bear kill permits.

Introduced by: William K. Barlow | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Kill permits. Requires the Director of the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries to issue a kill permit for the taking of bear or deer on land used for commercial agricultural production. Any landowner or his designee would have to have hunted bear or deer on the owner’s land before a subsequent kill permit could be authorized. The bill requires the disposal of bear or deer within 24 hours of when they were killed. In determining whether a person has abused his kill permit, the Director or his designee could consider as evidence of alleged abuse, a complaint filed by a citizen. Any person who has been aggrieved by the issuance, denial or revocation of a kill permit can appeal the decision to the Department. The bill also authorizes the Director or his designee to issue a deer kill permit in any locality in which the reduction of deer herds has been recommended as part of the Deer Management Plan adopted by the Board of Game and Island Fisheries.
