House committee substitute makes the following change to the 1st edition.

Deletes proposed amendments to GS 113-274 and instead requires the Wildlife Resources Commission (Commission) to study the need for imposing a duty to avoid wanton waste on persons taking wildlife while committing depredations on their property.  Defines wanton waste as killing or crippling a big game animal without making a reasonable effort to retrieve the animal and properly dispose of it.  Requires the Commission to report to the 2018 General Assembly upon convening.

Changes title of the bill accordingly.
