Hunting

• Any person under twelve (12) years of age may purchase a Youth Deer and Turkey Hunting Permit without display of a hunter education certificate card, and may take deer and turkey as outlined in the regulations when hunting in the immediate presence of a properly licensed adult hunter. No other firearms deer or turkey hunting permit may be purchased during the prescribed permit year, but a youth hunter may also purchase archery hunting permits. Reference to muzzeloading permits has been deleted.
• Hunting and trapping for weasels is closed due to low populations.

• Any person who finds a dead deer with antlers still attached to the skull plate while afield and wants to possess those antlers must report the taking to a conservation agent within a specified time period to receive possession authorization. Shed antlers not attached to the skull plate that are found while afield may be possessed, bought and sold
