Use of archery for the control action will be allowed from now through April 25 on weekends and state holidays.

Use of muzzleloaders for the control action will be permitted from June 1 through 27 on weekends and state holidays.

The limit will be two feral goats (either sex) per hunter per day.

The ongoing pig hunting season will continue as scheduled.
