Summary

The Mississippi Fair Chase Act makes it illegal to hunt, trap, or take game or furbearing animals that damage crops or personal property unless the hunter has a depredation permit and a valid hunting license. It also restricts hunting with dogs to private parcels of at least 2,000 contiguous acres and sets rules for permissible trapping methods. The state wildlife commission would be responsible for creating and enforcing the new regulations.
