This bill proposes the repeal of the existing prohibition on possessing a ferret while hunting or while traveling to or from hunting activities. Specifically, it seeks to amend RSA 207:6 by removing the legal restrictions that currently prevent individuals from having ferrets in these contexts.
The bill is set to take effect on January 1, 2027, allowing for the use of ferrets in hunting practices, which may enhance hunting strategies or practices for those who choose to utilize them. The removal of this prohibition reflects a shift in the legal framework surrounding hunting and the use of animals in that context.
