Bill > HB1167

This bill repeals an existing provision in the Revised Statutes Annotated (RSA) 207:6 that currently prohibits hunters from possessing ferrets while hunting or traveling to and from a hunt. By removing this restriction, the bill will allow hunters to possess ferrets during hunting activities, which could potentially be used for hunting purposes such as flushing out game from burrows or dense vegetation. The bill is set to take effect on January 1, 2027, giving ample time for hunters, wildlife management agencies, and other stakeholders to prepare for and understand the change in regulations. While the bill does not provide specific details about how ferrets might be used in hunting, it represents a regulatory change that expands the options available to hunters in the state.
