The purpose of the proposed rule amendment is to update hunting regulations for crossbow and muzzleloading gun seasons on lands outside the WMA system to provide more opportunities for hunters to participate in these seasons and make several technical corrections to “evidence of legal harvest” language for clarity. The effect of the proposed rule amendment will be to allow the take of wildlife with airbows (pre-charged pneumatic airguns firing arrows) during the crossbow and muzzleloading gun seasons on lands outside the WMA system and provide better understanding of requirements for evidence of legal harvest to staff and hunters by replacing four instances of “possess” with “retain” for consistency and clarity of rule language.
