Purpose
The purpose of the proposed rule changes is to revise regulations pertaining to the possession of firearms which may no longer be necessary for resource protection, clarify the regulations related to taking turkeys near feeding stations, and clarify the references to “feed” and “feeding stations.” The effect of the proposed rule changes will allow the possession of a gun during a season when game may not legally be taken with that gun, prohibit the take of wild turkey when a hunter is less than 100 yards from a game feeding station containing feed and standardization of language used to describe “feed” and “feeding stations.”
