of the state, or parts thereof, excluding Logan, McDowell, Mingo
and Wyoming Counties, as established by the Natural Resources
Commission in section seventeen, article one of this chapter. The
director shall establish rules governing the issuance of Class Y

equitable basis, the number of persons who may primitive weapon
hunt for deer in any special management area. There shall be a
season of at least three days each year for the taking of deer with
primitive weapons as authorized by the Director of Natural
Resources.
Only primitive weapons authorized by the Director of Natural
Resources may be used during primitive weapons deer season.
The licenses shall be issued in a form prescribed by the
director, are in addition to a Class A, Class AB or Class E license
and are valid only when accompanied thereby. The fee for the Class
Y license is ten dollars. The fee for the Class YY license is
fifty dollars.
NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to
establish a primitive
weapons deer season and to provide for the issuance of a primitive
weapons deer hunting license.
§20-2-46n
is new; therefore, strike-throughs and underscoring
have been omitted.
