Division of Natural Resources/Legislative Agenda
House Bill 3106 would move control of captive deer from the DNR to the Department of Agriculture. This legislation could lead to the commercialization of deer and also thwart the DNR restriction of interstate commerce in deer. Deer movement is currently curtailed due to Chronic Wasting Disease fears. The NRA is pushing for passage of this bill.
Senate Bill 186 would legalize the sale of whitetail deer meat in restaurants in W.Va.
House Bill 3106 passes the House by an 83 to 13 vote. Both HB 3106 and Senate Bill 186 are defeated in the Senate.
President Elmo Wiles presents DNR Director Ed Hamrick with funding in support of the Black Bear Research Project.
