§ 5007. Hunting black bear with dogs

• (a) No person shall pursue black bear with the aid of dogs, either for training or taking
  purposes, without a permit issued by the Commissioner. The number of permits issued
  to nonresidents in any given year shall not exceed 10 percent of the number of permits
  issued to residents in the preceding year. The Commissioner shall establish a process
  for determining which nonresidents are to receive a permit if there are more nonresident
  applicants than nonresident permits. A nonresident may train dogs to hunt bear only
  while training season is in effect in the nonresident’s home state and subject to
  the laws and regulations of this State. (b) Permits will be issued to residents for a fee of $50.00. (c) Application fees for nonresidents shall be $10.00 with a permit fee of $200.00 for
  successful applicants. (Added 1989, No. 184 (Adj. Sess.); amended 1997, No. 155 (Adj. Sess.), § 50, eff. Jan. 1, 1999.)
