DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa hunters will be able to use semi-automatic weapons including AR-15 rifles to kill deer in more parts of the state during a newly created antlerless season in January under a bill signed by Gov. Kim Reynolds.

Iowa lawmakers passed the bill in May and it was signed by Reynolds on Friday.

Advocates including Republican Sen. Ken Rozenboom, an Oskaloosa farmer, said the new law is designed to help control the deer population and respond to complaints that excess deer eat corn and are hazardous to motorists.

A 62-year-old man has been killed after a bear he attempted to kill turned on him.

The bear killed the hunter before succumbing to its own fatal injuries, with the bodies of both later found not far from one another.

The unnamed hunter is believed to have shot and wounded the predator from a platform in a tree in the Tulun district of the Irkutsk region, Russia.
