NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION
Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:
Under Section 23-14-18, the Wildlife Board is authorized and required to regulate and prescribe the means by which wildlife may be taken.
Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:
No written comments supporting or opposing Rule R657-19 were received since 2013, when this rule was last reviewed.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
The Division of Wildlife Resources has carefully reviewed the biological data and purposes for which the Wildlife Board allows the taking of species listed in this rule and has determined that such species may be taken without harming the resource, while allowing recreational opportunities and depredation control on private lands. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
