Open seasons; extend those ending on a Friday until 30 minutes after sunset on the following Sunday.
SB 2276 extends hunting seasons for deer, bobwhite quail, wild turkey, squirrel, rabbits, and fur-bearing animals (including raccoon) that end on a Friday until 30 minutes after sunset on the following Sunday. This change directly affects hunters participating in these seasonal activities, providing a short extension when their designated season concludes on a Friday. The bill modifies existing Mississippi Code sections to add this specific end-date extension without altering other season dates or regulations. It applies uniformly to all affected game species and does not change bag limits or other management rules.
