How much advance time must the license holder provide to the District Wildlife Manager before a peregrine capture?

Providing seven days’ advance notice to the District Wildlife Manager before capturing a peregrine falcon is a regulatory requirement that ensures proper oversight and management of wildlife resources. This timeframe allows the authorities to prepare for and manage the capture, ensuring that it aligns with conservation efforts and legal stipulations. It enables the relevant wildlife officials to check for any potential concerns, such as nesting activities or population dynamics, which might affect the capture process. By following this protocol, falconers demonstrate their commitment to responsible wildlife management, which is vital for the sustainability of peregrine populations and compliance with state regulations.
