CHAPTER NUMBER AND TITLE: Chapter 16.08 – Moose Hunting (depredation hunt)
PROPOSED RULE NUMBER:
BRIEF SUMMARY: The Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife is proposing amendments to Chapter 16 rules as they apply to the Depredation Hunt for moose. Currently, depredation hunt locations are limited to the ten (10) towns listed in the rule. Extending the locations to WMDs 3 and 6 will provide greater flexibility and increased ability to respond to immediate crop depredation by moose where it is happening outside the towns currently established in rule.
