Deer Hunts For Pay Require Permit
Landowners who charge hunters for access may obtain a Shooting Preserve license with a new tiered fee schedule. Fees vary by acreage: $10 for under 500 acres, $25 for 500 to under 1000, and $40 for 1000 acres or more. For the first year, licensees no longer must maintain a game preserve book recording names and kills.
