What additional license is generally required to hunt with a raptor?

• A. Falconry permit
• B. Hunting license
• C. Waterfowl stamp
• D. Fishing license

Answer: (B)

Using a raptor to hunt requires a specialized authorization that specifically covers handling and hunting with birds of prey. This is a falconry permit, the license that demonstrates you’ve met the training, equipment, and regulatory requirements to manage a raptor for hunting. A general hunting license lets you pursue game by ordinary methods, but it does not grant permission to use a raptor in hunting. Without the falconry permit, hunting with a raptor is not legal, even if you hold a hunting license. Licenses like a waterfowl stamp or a fishing license apply to those activities and don’t provide authority for falconry.
