Filed as: Game, Fish and Parks Commission on amendment of Administrative Rules
Landowners with qualifying acreage can now purchase single-tag or two-tag deer and elk licenses under simplified naming conventions, replacing previous "any deer" and "any antlerless" terminology. The antelope and elk hunting seasons have expanded with new units and extended season dates, and the Custer State Park antlerless elk license quota increases from 20 to 100 permits. Waterfowl hunters will face tighter daily bag limits: Canada geese drop from 15 to 8 per day during early fall hunting and the August management take, and leftover antelope and turkey licenses will be available through a revised lottery system that pools resident and nonresident licenses sooner than before.

Sen. Mehlhaff moved to deem the process complete; Sen. Larson offered a substitute motion to exclude the East River elk unit and the Custer State Park antlerless license increase, but it died for lack of a second. The original motion passed 4-2.
