Fur-bearing
mammals are defined as muskrats, raccoons,
otters, weasels, bobcats, beavers, badgers,
and ringtails. Of these, only the bobcat
is also considered a predatory animal. All
mammals not classified as game mammals, predatory
animals, or furbearers are considered "nongame
mammals." These include opossums, coatis,
black-footed ferrets, Gunnison's prairie
dogs, black-tailed prairie dogs, wolves,
jaguars, ocelots, and porcupines. Of these,
only Gunnison's prairie dogs and coatis may
be taken during an open season, with the
bag limit on coatis being one per calendar
year. No season for the taking of jaguars,
ocelots, wolves, or porcupines exists.
