Dang, we can do anything we want to kill wild hogs. Even just shoot them and leave them in the woods which makes zero sense to me. Our coyote populations have already been booming and now they want people to feed them wild hog. Of course since this new idiot took over the game and fish department aint much they done makes sense. What you get when you hire a city slicker with a business degree and her only outdoor experience is her daddy taking her to places that allows high fence cage hunts. Pretty sure he made some nice "donations" when the office opened up.

Oh, hogs maybe? We don't have them here (yet) so idk those rules
 
Do as mentioned by others, and contact a licensed wildlife rehabber. I sometimes fail to take into account that things don't always work the same in other states, as they do here. No, it's not that the laws are different, it's that the situation is different.

Tons of birds flock south for the winter. Due to that, quite a few counties have regular wild bird sanctuaries, and coastal counties tend to have seabird sanctuaries as well. In addition, about half the veterinarians here are licensed rehabbers. There are a goodly number of individually licensed rehabbers too. In addition, we get some serious smaller storms throughout the year, as well as hurricanes. It's fairly normal for the sanctuaries, rehabbers, vets, etc. to get overwhelmed during those times. Its' not uncommon for them to allow regular folks to help with the overflow. As long as they know the situation, and are convinced the person is capable to properly care for the bird, there is no problem with it. In essence, you're working with them, under their licensing.

Are you planning on raising for release or taking it to a wildlife rehabber? It's a wild animal and will be so much happier in it's natural habitat (when it's older of course, I'm not saying you should just release a duckling)!

yes we did some research and we plan to legally release it when it is 2 months old
