Hunting yotes, coons, and fox here is legal year round, and only $7 for a state resident permit (trapping is $30, and includes a bunch of stuff that isn't a threat to yard birds, but allows you to use traps and snares.) Bobcat is limited to only a couple weeks, but they are extremely rare where I live so not an issue.
