Proposed Changes to Big Game Hunting Regulations: Firearms and Equipment Adjustments

The Division is recommending significant changes to big game hunting regulations to better align with state statutes. Key proposals include easing restrictions on firearm possession while spotlighting and permitting archery and muzzleloader hunters to carry handguns in the field. Additionally, the bullet weight requirement for muzzleloaders will be lowered and clarifications made regarding the legality of laser range-finding scopes. These adjustments aim to promote safer and more practical hunting practices.
