WV HB2666

Allows landowners or lessees experiencing damage to crops, fruit trees, commercial nurseries, shrubbery, or vegetable gardens from deer or other wildlife to hire a third party to kill the animals using bow and arrow

Requires the Director of Natural Resources to issue a permit for third-party hunting when substantial damage from wildlife is verified

Third parties hired to kill wildlife must follow the same minimum bow poundage and equipment restrictions that apply during regular hunting seasons

Maintains existing process requiring landowners to report damage to natural resources police officers, biologists, or the director for investigation before permits are issued
