for the area where such open season is fixed,
(3) the method of application for and issuance of such special

(5) such other rules and regulations as the department shall deem
necessary for the orderly and efficient conduct of such seasons.

10. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of subdivision 10 of
section 11-0901 or subdivision 2, subdivision 3 or subdivision 8 of
section 11-0907 of this title, until December thirty-first, two thousand

twenty-four, the department is authorized to adopt regulations with
respect to the manner of taking, possession, open seasons and bag limits
for deer. The authority to adopt such regulations is in addition to any
authority contained in this section or section 11-0913 of this title
respecting regulations fixing open seasons for deer and the issuance of
deer management permits.
11. The department shall have the authority to establish by
regulation, deer management assistance permits to allow land/resource

permits shall be valid only on the permittee's lands and shall address
site specific management goals including but not limited to agricultural
damage, areas where existing statutes do not allow for adequate harvest
and areas where public access may be limited for justifiable security
reasons. Deer taken under this subdivision are in addition to the one
deer per year authorized in section 11-0907 of this title.
