Summary

The bill lets the Department of Natural Resources approve deer‑population reductions on properties where deer damage is documented, including issuing permits that allow Sunday shooting under certain conditions. It also loosens Sunday hunting time limits for deer, game birds, mammals and turkey in a list of counties, repeals the ban on Sunday hunting of migratory game birds, and permits Sunday deer bow hunting in Baltimore City. The changes are intended to help landowners control deer damage and give hunters more flexibility.
