Statewide fish and game laws take effect this month
A raft of new laws from the 1971 Uw State Legislature tightens control over hunting and wildlife. Night hunting rules empower the Fish and Game Commission to regulate coyotes and bobcats, remove nonprotected categories, and set bag limits areas and hours. Other measures ban live rodent sales to curb bubonic plague risk and require screen diversions for salmon and steelhead irrigation. Halibut rules limit fishing mortality and set protected grounds, while Tule Elk safeguards delay hunts until 2600 animals exist. Shellfish cultivation rules are expanded and marine life regulations updated.
