About this statute

Only traps/sax meeting the listed safety and size rules may be used for wildlife capture; snare use is allowed only for ptarmigan in the named municipalities. Artificial light may be used to track and kill wounded animals or animals caught in snares, and in specified situations where animals are in dens, traps, buildings, or other helpless conditions; leaf blowers may be used to catch or drive away certain listed animals only in specified den-like or similar conditions. Poison, poison bait, and electricity may be used only in the specified places and conditions when killing rats, mice, or voles; traps and bait must be placed safely and electric killing traps must be maintained regularly. This section sets hunting weapon and ammunition requirements, including limits on certain semi-automatic weapons and minimum bullet energy and weight for different animals. The provision allows killing certain injured or trapped animals with a suitable firearm, and allows airguns only in limited indoor or research-related situations.
