This bill amends Section 483A.8, subsection 7 of the Iowa Code to enhance the availability and usage of youth deer hunting licenses and tags. It mandates that the Department of Natural Resources make these licenses available for purchase during the same time frame as general deer hunting licenses, which includes all established deer hunting seasons.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that a youth deer hunting license and tag can be utilized not only in the season for which it was issued but also in any subsequent established deer hunting season, provided that the method of take is authorized for that specific season. However, if the tag is filled during one of the seasons, the license will not be valid for subsequent seasons.
