Purpose


The purpose of the proposed rule changes is to establish general rules relating to the take of wild hogs, the take of non-protected mammals and the possession of guns or firearms on Wildlife Management Areas. The effect would be a general set of regulations allowing the take of wild hogs with no size or bag limit, establish shooting hours and prohibit the transport of live wild hogs, except as otherwise provided by area specific rule. Non-protected mammals will be legal to take during any season that allows the take of game mammals, except as provided by area specific rule. Firearms and guns may be possessed throughout the year provided they are securely encased in a vehicle, vessel, camper or tent when they are not a legal method of take.
