Relating to rules for hunting antlered deer

HB 2783 would require West Virginia's Division of Natural Resources to establish new rules for hunting antlered deer, subject to legislative approval. The rules would limit hunters to harvesting two antlered deer per season: the first can be taken by any method, but the second must have at least three scorable points on one antler. Hunters would not be permitted to harvest additional antlered deer after reaching this two-deer limit. This bill directly affects licensed deer hunters in West Virginia by setting specific, measurable criteria for antlered deer harvests.
