Sponsored by Sen. Klimesh (District 32)
The bill increases the number of nonresident any sex deer tags from the current 6,000 to 7,500.

The bill also provides that when a nonresident uses an antlerless deer only deer hunting license and tag that the nonresident is required to purchase with an antlered or any sex deer hunting license to take an antlerless deer in a zone that is above the population goal determined by NRC, then NRC will assign one preference point to the nonresident.
