Simplifying and modernizing the legal firearm regulations and establishing a big game baiting regulation to help with harvest in developed areas highlight regulation proposals being discussed at public meetings through Oct. 4.
The Game and Fish is also proposing to update its regulation governing license agents for the first time in 11 years and finalize late migratory regulations.
Specifically, the Game and Fish is proposing to allow pronghorn, deer, mountain lion, and gray wolf (where designated as trophy game) hunters to use calibers .22 and larger that have a cartridge of at least 2 inches in overall length. Bighorn sheep, elk, moose, mountain goat, black bear, and grizzly bear hunters would be required to use at least .24 caliber firearms with a cartridge at least 2 inches in overall length.
In addition, for all the above species, hunters could also use: firearms of .35 caliber and larger with a cartridge of at least 1.5 inches, a .40 caliber and larger muzzle-loading rifle with a minimum of 50 grains of black powder, shotguns loaded with buckshot 00 (double ought) or larger or slugs. Turkey hunters could use any shotgun, center-fire firearm,muzzleloader or archery equipment, plus .22 magnum and .17 HMR rimfire firearms.
All interested parties are encouraged to attend
