Bill > HSB255

This Study Bill, relating to youth deer hunting licenses and tags, mandates that the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) must offer youth deer hunting licenses for purchase during the same timeframe that general deer hunting licenses are available, encompassing all established deer hunting seasons. Furthermore, it clarifies that a youth deer hunting license and its accompanying tag can be used either in the specific season for which it was purchased or in any later established deer hunting season, provided the hunter uses a method of taking game that is authorized for that particular season. However, once the tag is used to harvest a deer in one season, the license will no longer be valid for any subsequent seasons.
