Haven't read through the whole thing yet, but already don't like the removal of night time coyote hunting without their permission or that shotguns with 6 or smaller shot would have to be used. That could create problems for cattle farmers.

Yeah. I don't hunt, but I don't like that part either.

No, it's underlined indicating the new rule.

Is coyote hunting at night now legal? 6 shot at any distance will not penetrate enough in general to kill.

Night time coyote hunting without a game warden permit is already prohibited, and the shotgun rule is already in place according to the way I read the current regs. There’s a lot a leeway in the current regs for farmers and ranchers, but the ODWC/game warden has to give them permits.

Oops, you're right. Looks like the regs were shortened and still address the same things. Guess all those hunting shows have been doing it wrong. And the guys shooting them in their cows too. Gonna be sure to keep an eye out for this from now on. I'm betting some cattle farmers lose guns over this one, possibly trucks or ATVs. And those fines....boy howdy.

12 gauge single shot with #6 bird shot from 35 paces will kill a deer.
1 pellet penetrated the trachea.
12 year old that forgot to put a slug in his shotgun.

Zero damaged meat.
I bet that will never happen again.

Loving some of the proposed trapping changes allowing conibear traps on private land.
