Summary

The act changes licensing rules so certain minors, farmland owners, military personnel, and people whose property is damaged by wildlife can hunt or trap without a standard license. It adds a fast‑track deer‑destruction permit and allows limited elk hunting if populations grow. The law also declares an emergency to address crop damage and sets short‑term special hunting periods.
