I was looking at hatcheries for Ring Necked Pheasants. They send a NPIP Certificate with every order, so that's hassle free mostly.
I'm in Bingham which a small place in the middle of nowhere, except town's not super far away.
Okay, so the confusion is just because of outdated stuff still in circulation? The unrestricted list is from 2017, so I'm totally sure if the regulations are still going by it, or not.
Hello, would like to know how many of you live in Maine, & own Pheasants. There's lots of confusing information. Some places state you need a permit to own them, other places say you just need a Health Certificate(NPIP). So it basically means you need to get a copy of the NPIP certificate with...
I know chickens don't require a permit.
I think I'll make a thread tomorrow, & see if anyone will be able to decipher this better, so it less confusing.
Peafowl require the permit as well, which is stupid.
Chickens fall in the same family, Phasianidae, so not sure what these people who make these regulations were thinking?
Okay, I just found my answer. I would need a category 2 Restricted species permit for personal use.
I was hoping I could actually own large pheasants without any special permits here. Oh, well.
One thing I want to find out is if I need a license, or permit to own ring neck pheasants in Maine?
I'll probably ask in a different thread as well tomorrow. Thought I'd share my question here first.
