So our department honored the intent of the legislature to allow the hunting of deer over plain white salt.

Trophy rocks are a rock salt. Therefore legal.


Serious question. Since the law did not change, by what authority did your department change or ignore the existing law? I'm sure there are lots of things they were going to put in various laws, but since they were omitted, they are not binding. Hunting over salt is still illegal according to the law, but your department has basically published that it will not enforce the law as it is written??? Shouldn't your department just enforce the laws that are written and let the legislature change it if they want to or if they made a mistake???
