Limiting wildlife damage.

Summary

Recognizes that damage caused by deer grazing on crop lands is detrimental to productive agriculture in Washington state. Declares that when the currently authorized methods of addressing problem animals are ineffective, including methods that often times may not be used because of the dangers associated with fire season, responsible farmers and ranchers must be authorized to take actions to protect their livelihood.
