Bill Title: Provides that it shall be unlawful for any person to take deer except (i) with a shotgun, centerfire handgun (rather than just a handgun), centerfire revolver, centerfire rifle (rather than single shot centerfire rifle), or muzzleloading rifle or (ii) as provided by administrative rule, with a bow and arrow, with other requirements. Limits legal handguns and rifles to centerfire revolvers, centerfire handguns capable of holding not more than 3 rounds in the magazine and chamber combined, and centerfire rifles capable of holding not more than 3 rounds in the magazine and chamber combined. Provides that if a centerfire handgun or centerfire rifle is capable of holding more than 3 rounds, it shall be fitted with a one-piece plug that is irremovable without dismantling the handgun or rifle or it shall be otherwise altered to render it incapable of holding more than 3 rounds in the magazine and chamber combined without dismantling the handgun or rifle. Moves a provision regarding standards and specifications for deer hunting established by administrative rule and moves a prohibition that a person may not have in his or her possession any firearm not authorized by administrative rule for a specific hunting season when taking deer unless in accordance with the Firearm Concealed Carry Act. Prohibits, while deer hunting, possessing, being in close proximity to, or using a rifle, handgun, revolver, or muzzleloading rifle or a magazine that is not in compliance with certain provisions or administrative rules. Repeals a definition of "single shot".
