S 1171: Establishes a town of Huntington deer management pilot program

This bill establishes a pilot program allowing the Town of Huntington to manage deer populations through controlled culling by qualified specialists. It requires the town to demonstrate deer are causing property damage, health risks, or other nuisances before applying for a state-issued cull permit. The permit process mandates specific requirements for specialists (including marksmanship, insurance, and reporting), a detailed site-specific management plan, and coordination with local law enforcement. The program amends existing wildlife laws to permit these activities under strict conditions, while maintaining broader hunting regulations for other areas.
