Section 232-30-260. Closed areas for raptor trapping and practicing falconry.

(1) A falconry permit does not authorize a falconer to capture or release raptors or practice falconry on public lands where it is prohibited, on private property without permission from the landowner or custodian, or on tribal lands without permission. Falconry raptors may drift from the control of the falconer. It is the falconer's responsibility to receive permission to enter to retrieve a falconry raptor from public land where falconry is prohibited, or from private or tribal lands.

(2) Trapping raptors for falconry is not allowed in the Debay and Johnson Slough Unit, the Fir Island Farms Reserve Unit, or the Headquarters (Skagit) Unit in the western half of the Skagit Wildlife Area.
