To allow landowners to pay hunters to hunt their property

HB 2666 (West Virginia House Bill 2666) allows landowners or lessees whose property is damaged by deer or wildlife to hire a third-party hunter to kill the animals using a bow and arrow. The bill amends existing law to explicitly permit this hiring process, requiring the director of natural resources to issue permits for such activity. It maintains existing restrictions, requiring hunters to follow the same bow and arrow specifications as during regular hunting seasons. This directly affects landowners facing property damage from wildlife, providing a new option to address the issue through authorized third-party hunting. The bill does not change general hunting regulations but streamlines a specific damage-control mechanism.
