I am curious about hunting with ferrets, as they have been bred in Europe for that purpose for centuries. Would it be lawful to use ferrets to flush cottontail rabbits? How about upland game birds? If not, would using ferrets to hunt unprotected or predatory wildlife, such as jackrabbits, be considered legal take?
Answer:
Although very unconventional to use ferrets to flush or take wildlife, it would be legal with a valid hunting license for small game and predators.
