The Game Commission this week published a proposed regulation creating the Agricultural Depredation Permit Program to help limit deer browsing damage in agricultural areas.

The regulation implements the provisions of House Bill 881.

The proposal allows certain landowners to apply for permits for hunting deer that are causing agricultural crop damage. Landowners may also issue subpermits to professional hunters.

Comments on the proposed rule are due January 25.
