Bill Summary

This bill proposes to amend the times when a person can train a hunting dog to pursue black bear. The bill would also provide that if a person registers dogs on a permit to pursue black bear with the aid of dogs for taking, the dogs shall not be registered on any other permit issued to pursue black bear with the aid of dogs for taking. In addition, the bill would require a person to have a nuisance wildlife trapping license in order to trap rabbits and fur-bearing animals in defense of property.

It amends the times when a person can train hunting dogs to pursue black bear, requires a person to have a nuisance wildlife trapping license to trap rabbits and fur-bearing animals in defense of property, and repeals a previous requirement for a nuisance trapping license. The bill also clarifies the rules around taking rabbit or fur-bearing animals by property owners, their employees, and selectboard members to protect property or public infrastructure.
