So....is the consensus.....that it's illegal to hunt a species....if the game laws of the state doesn't have a defined season for that species?
Heck I thought it was an interesting scenario. We have elk here in NC.....but have no elk season. I'm betting there are many who would take the approach that since there are no regulations concerning those animals......that they are able to be killed, legally.
Whether that's right or wrong....Im betting there are those who believe that.

When I run into these situations..."when in doubt"...I usually shoot first and ask questions later. I set my F stop as wide open as possible and try to keep the shutter speed above 1/60 of a second. I dump as many frames as possible. The idea there...maybe one frame will be the perfect shot! It seems to work!
Hope that helps...

I do know it would be very illegal to shoot an Elk or Moose in NY - and there is no season for either here.
Swine and Exotics are not protected in NY (unless the animal is protected by superceeding laws - CITIES for example- eg, Chimpanzee).

And you can kill wild hogs by any means with any weaponat any time in any numbers you want. Sounds like fun to me.

I think it's usually protected if you read the full regulations. I' sure in NY they mention you can't shoot a moose. Pest animals(such as pigs) are fair game. Texas is the only state I ever hunted in where you could whack an exotic year round.
