relative to the use of air rifles for hunting game.

HB 211 modifies hunting regulations by expanding the types of game that can be taken with air rifles. It permits the use of air rifles for small game, and now also for moose, bear, or deer. The bill authorizes the executive director to establish specific kinetic energy requirements for air rifles used on these larger animals. Additionally, the executive director will define the methods and manners for using air rifles for small game, moose, bear, or deer through administrative rules. This bill primarily affects hunters and the state's wildlife management agency.
