Important messages

What does an LEH authorization allow me to do?

An LEH authorization permits a person to hunt a specific species, or a specific class of species (i.e. antlerless) in a specific area during a specific time. This authorization does not exempt a holder of an LEH authorization from any other law related to hunting. For example, a holder of an LEH authorization must comply with all regulations related to areas where motor vehicles are prohibited or restricted, areas where firearms are prohibited or restricted, bag limits, compulsory inspection, licensing, etc. It is the responsibility of an individual to be informed of the current hunting regulations. Information on these regulations can be found in the Hunting and Trapping Regulations Synopsis.

Specific Hunt Area/Zone Notices

Hunters are reminded of the existing Motor Vehicle Closed Areas designed to accommodate the effects of significant wildfires in Regions 3, 4, and 8. Several of the original closures have been either modified or rescinded as a result of wildfire recovery. More information can be found at Motor Vehicle Prohibitions.
