Hunting
Furbearers and small game are staple hunts for many sportspeople and their families, and good hunts for new hunters looking to gain experience before hunting big game.
Need to Know
Hunters can purchase a furbearer license. This license will allow hunters to harvest furbearers only.
Hunters can purchase a small game license and the new annual furbearer harvest permit. This will allow hunters to hunt all small game and furbearer species.
Need to Know
IMPORTANT: While coyote are considered furbearers, you do not need a furbearer harvest permit to hunt this species. You may hunt coyote with a furbearer license, a small game license, or a small game license with a furbearer harvest permit.
Coyote hunters must register with the Harvest Information Program on CPWShop.com before their license is valid.
Need to Know
All bobcats or their pelts must be personally presented by the hunter for inspection and sealing by CPW within 30 days after take, or within 5 days after the season closes; whichever is sooner. Any bobcat hide/pelt without a seal within five days after the season closes is illegal and becomes the property of the state.
