[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 1029685, member: 35183"] Game laws differ in every state unfortunately. Whether or not one needs permits (tags) depends on whether the species is defined as a game species or not. Usually, any type of deer and up are considered "big game". However, coyotes and varmints like ground hogs as well as feral hogs MAY not be considered game species and so you may not need a hunting permits. In Michigan, coyotes are classed as "small game" so that you have to pay a fee to hunt them and they are subject to seasonal restrictions. The entire "tag" system was just redefined this past year and you need a "base license" which essentially replaced the previous small game license, before you are able to buy tags for any other game species. Thus if you want to hunt deer, you now basically have to get a small game license whether you want to or not. In Texas the Feral hogs are considered invasive and are not a game species. Yet despite this, there are restrictions on how many hogs you are allowed to take as a non Texas resident. Why it all needs to be so complex is all down to lawyers in government protecting their livelihood and providing more reasons to send people to jail to protect the very expensive penal system... Taxpayers continue to vote for the people who make the idiotic laws, so good for us... Firearm law in the rest of the world is quite different to the US. One cannot even make the basic assumption that citizens are permitted ownership of firearms or simultaneous possession of a rifle and ammunition... One always has to check the laws as they apply to the entire route one has to travel. Just like it would be a bad choice for a US citizen to attempt to transport a legally owned rifle through DC or through Chicago, NYC or Dulles airports... Even though all of those locations are clearly on sovereign US territory.. [/QUOTE]
