This permanent regulation establishes the descriptions and restrictions for deer permits. The proposed amendments are the result of legislation passed by the 2007 Legislature. The proposed amendments would allow for a resident any-season white-tailed deer permit, simplify antlerless permits, allow nonresidents to select the season for use of white-tailed deer permits, allow for nonresidents to apply for limited mule deer stamps to convert white-tailed deer permits to either-species, either-sex permits and cease the transferability of hunt-on-your-own-land permits.
