What’s in it

This bill relates to goose hunting on private property. Current law allows the department of natural resources to establish state game refuges on any land owned by the state to effect sound wildlife management, among other reasons. In establishing a game refuge, the department may promulgate rules that restrict hunting on private property. The bill exempts a person hunting on private property from additional restrictions caused by the establishment of a refuge area or restricted area for any wild goose except that private property located within a closed area adjacent to a wild goose refuge area shall not be used to allow hunting for profit.

Read the full explanation

A person hunting on private property must still adhere to other hunting restrictions that would exist regardless of the establishment of a refuge area or restricted area for any wild goose.
