The following regulation is promulgated under authority of 49-7-1. as amended by Senate Bill 2708, Regular Session of the MS State Legislature, 2006.

Miss. Code Ann. 49-7-1, as amended, classifies nutria, beaver, wild hogs and coyotes as "nuisance" animals. Pursuant to the same authority in the amended statute, the Commission issues this regulation stating that nuisance animals may be taken at any time subject to the following.

Nuisance animals may also be hunted, taken, killed, chased or pursued, with dogs, except during the spring turkey season. Nuisance animals may be hunted during the open archery season and special primitive weapon seasons, but may only be taken with the firearms or weapons lawful for those seasons.

Coyotes, nutria and beaver may also be taken at night, with the aid of a light, subject to weapons/ caliber restrictions found in PN 2279.

Unless otherwise exempt, persons hunting wild hogs must possess a big game hunting license. All other nuisance and predatory animals may be taken with a small game license.

Persons hunting wild hogs during any open gun season on deer will be required to wear, in full view, 500 square inches of solid unbroken hunter orange, unless they are hunting from a fully enclosed stand.

Licensed trappers wishing to sell the skins and/or meat of nutria, beaver and coyote may do so only during the trapping season and for 10 days thereafter, subsequent to other applicable statutes and regulations. The meat of legally taken wild or feral hogs may be sold at any time.
