To create a new hunting license stamp for upland game bird
HB 2038 creates a new $10 "upland game bird" stamp that hunters can purchase alongside their standard hunting license. It directly affects hunters who pursue ruffed grouse, bobwhite quail, pheasant, woodcock, or snipe in West Virginia. The bill requires all proceeds from the stamp to fund the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources' efforts to buy and release these birds into Wildlife Management Areas. The Division of Natural Resources will administer the stamp program under this bill.
