RAC approves predator-control incentive clarification and hears fur-bearer updates
Summary
RAC approved a rule clarification to align predator-control incentive language with code and heard division updates on bobcat permits and a consolidated digital guidebook for fur-bearer species (available January 2026).
Chad presented a clarification to predator-control incentive rule language (r657‑64) to align it with code and explicitly protect editor harvest locations; RAC asked a clarifying question and approved the change unanimously. The division characterized the change as a minor but important alignment to remove ambiguity.
Chad also presented a fur-bearer update: bobcat permit limits will remain at six permits with no statewide cap and a combined digital guidebook for fur-bearer species (including cougar and black bear) is planned for release in January 2026 to consolidate overlapping content and reduce printing/storage burdens.
The RAC took no additional action beyond approving the rule clarification.
