An Act relative to hunting with artificial light
HD 1127 amends a state law to allow hunting coyotes with artificial light by adding "coyote" after "raccoon" in the list of animals permitted for this method. This change directly affects hunters targeting coyotes and updates the state's wildlife regulations for coyote hunting. The bill does not alter the hunting method itself but expands the species covered under the existing artificial light hunting provision. It is a straightforward policy adjustment to the legal framework for wildlife management.
