Description

Designation of a person authorized to kill deer or bear damaging property.  Permits a landowner or lessee whose property may be damaged by deer or bear to request that another person or persons be designated to kill such animals upon any written authorization to kill deer or bear that may be granted. The legislation instructs the Director of the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries to establish a website where a landowner may register property and establish hunting conditions and where a person may apply on a first-come, first-served basis to be designated on a written authorization to kill deer or bear damaging the property. The Director is required to pay the landowner at least half of the fee charged to the designated person. Read the Bill »
