These areas include the use of tags, lawful and unlawful methods of taking and possessing wildlife and wildlife parts, seasons, check-in\/check-out requirements, and reporting requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After significant public input during the initial public process, the commission directed the department to modify its original recommendations to accommodate that input. The commission voted to approve the final rulemaking at its September 2023 meeting. The amended final rules will become effective Aug. 10, 2024.
