It's a different approach that is a 180 from having open season on them year around like most states have. The theory, as I understand it, is that if people can only shoot them when deer season is open, it eliminates anyone from introducing them to make money. It also ties in with #3 that requires a permit at any other time of the year for a property owner to take one.
