Hunting deer; establish continuous open season. Establishes a continuous open season for hunting deer with any weapon permitted by law. In current law, the Board of Wildlife Resources adopts regulations that prescribe regular open and closed seasons for hunting deer. The bill retains the power granted to the Board to close or shorten a season for hunting (i) whenever extreme weather threatens the welfare of wild birds, wild animals, or fish; (ii) whenever such wild birds, wild animals, or fish have been seriously affected by adverse weather conditions; (iii) when investigation of the Board shows that there is an unusual scarcity of any species; or (iv) when there is substantial demand from any county or city.

Hunting deer; establishes continuous open season.
