The amendments add Madison, Marion and Warren counties to the open area  
for taking bobcats and increase the quota from 200 to 250. The individual 
seasonal bag limit for otters and bobcats is also removed. The amendment 
changes the ending date for the unrestricted taking of muskrats from April 15 
to April 1 and requires that traps be placed entirely within the muskrat lodge 
to reduce the incidental catch of other wildlife. The amendment clarifies that 
persons displaying either bobcats or otters as taxidermy mounts must keep 
the CITES tag in their possession.

Any interested person may make written suggestions or comments on the 
proposed amendment on or before April 29, 2009. Written comments may be
