RULES RELATING TO GAME

Overview

RULE:

68A-12.010

Regulations Governing the Operation of Private Hunting Preserves

PURPOSE:

The proposed rule amendments will remove the limit of 10,000 acres to allow for hunting preserves to expand current facility size and minimize the need for operators to subdivide the property to meet the limit. The effect of this proposed amendment would be to allow landowners to operate their hunting preserves without needlessly dividing their property and erecting additional fencing. In addition, the proposed amendments will allow for the sale of native white-tailed venison from hunt preserves in the process of dissolution. The effect of this amendment will be to allow hunt preserve licensees to depopulate their herds without waste of the animal.

SUMMARY:

The proposed rule would remove the limit of 10,000 acres to allow for hunting preserves to expand their current facility size. In addition, it would allow for the sale of native white-tailed deer venison from hunting preserve licensees that are dissolving their business so herds can be depopulated without waste of the animal.
