Illinois Delivers Rules to Implement Regulated Harvest of Bobcats
by TBC Press on 01/26/16
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) today delivered rules to implement regulated harvest of bobcats in the State. Authority was granted by Public Act 99-0033, which took effect January 1, 2016. Proposed rules will be reviewed by the General Assembly’s Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) to determine compliance with statutory provisions. The process includes a period for public comment. Adopted rules will be reviewed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to assure compliance with federal regulations on trade of bobcat pelts, and with an international treaty governing their export. Approval of export authority by USFWS requires adequate measures to protect Illinois’ bobcat population from over-harvest. READ MORE
