Boar:
In some areas, wild boar hunting may be regulated due to concerns about overpopulation or the spread of disease.
However, hunting of domesticated or feral pigs may be allowed in some cases.
Cougar/Mountain Lion:
These large predators are often protected due to their importance in the ecosystem and concerns about their population levels.
Hunting may be allowed in some areas with special permits or under certain conditions, such as if a particular animal is deemed a threat to public safety.
Coyote:
Although considered a nuisance by many farmers and ranchers, coyote hunting may be regulated in some areas due to concerns about population control and the impacts on other wildlife species.
Deer/Elk:
In many areas, deer and elk hunting is heavily regulated to prevent overhunting and ensure sustainable populations.
Permits and tags may be required, and specific hunting seasons may be established to limit the number of animals taken.
Rabbit:
While rabbit hunting may be legal in some areas, it is often regulated to ensure the sustainability of the population.
Additionally, some species of rabbit may be protected due to their endangered or threatened status.
Note: These regulations can vary by location, so it's important to check local hunting laws and regulations before hunting any animal.
Great Cormorant:
These large, water-dwelling birds are protected under many international treaties due to their importance in the ecosystem and concerns about population levels.
Hunting, killing or capturing of cormorants is typically prohibited, although some exceptions may exist for specific research or management purposes.
Crow:
Crows are a common species of bird that are often considered pests due to their scavenging habits and tendency to damage crops.
However, they are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which prohibits their hunting or killing without a permit.
Chicken Hawk:
While "chicken hawk" is a colloquial term for several species of hawks, it is not a specific type of bird.
In general, hawks and other raptors are protected under various laws and regulations, and hunting or killing them is typically illegal without a permit.
Pigeon:
Domesticated pigeons are often kept as pets or used in racing competitions, but hunting or killing them is generally illegal.
Some wild pigeon species, such as the passenger pigeon, have been driven to extinction and are fully protected under the law.
Seagull:
Seagulls are a common species of bird that are protected under various laws and regulations, and hunting or killing them is generally illegal without a permit.
However, in some areas where seagulls are considered a nuisance or pest, permits may be issued to allow their control under specific circumstances.
Note: These regulations can vary by location, so it's important to check local hunting laws and regulations before hunting any animal.
Bigfoot is a mythical creature and is not recognized as a real animal by the scientific community. Therefore, it is not illegal to hunt Bigfoot because it does not exist. However, there have been reported sightings in San Andreas. If sightings can be validated or samples can be brought back to the Beaver Bush Ranger Station for verification, there is an offer of $25,000 reward for the carcass of this mythical creature.
