So I just bought a western hog female for a future breeding project, and found out that it is illegal to sell or trade western hogs in colorado, wildcaught or not. Is this true? I dont even know where to begin looking for this law, I read some stuff on the local DOW site about it but it doesnt really talking about when you have CB babies. Mine is not wildcaught, and bought from out of state. I'm assuming the dude who sold her to me didnt know either, otherwise I would hope he would have warned me.
Ack, oh well, I'm just venting. I still like her.

"Up to 4 western hognoses may be collected for personal possession, they may not be collected for commercial use."

I suppose that means you can have an unlimited number of individuals that were not collected from the wild at all!
