huntregs is not the law and is not an official edition of any state’s regulations: no state agency writes, reviews, publishes or approves it, and where a page here differs from the agency document it cites, the agency document is the regulation and this page is wrong.
It is an editorial compilation of state agency regulation documents: every row is carried verbatim out of one named document, cited by title, identified by the sha256 of the exact bytes we read, and printed beside the source lines it was read from.
What we do carry
rows verbatim — no row is summarised, and every field the source row carried is rendered, including the ones we have no column for;
each record’s own declaration of what it does not contain, printed in full and unedited, above the rows rather than under them;
our own withdrawals — dated, with the reason as written, and the state’s rows gone from every route while the withdrawal stands.
What we do not carry
the law itself. Every state page links the agency’s own document; that is the thing to read.
declared gaps. Where a record says regulation exists that it does not carry, that regulation is not here — it is named, in the record’s words, and it is still missing.
zone, unit or boundary geometry. The compilation holds no maps and this app draws none; several records declare that as a gap themselves.
shooting hours. Clock, sunrise and sunset text is shown exactly as written — nothing here computes a sunrise, a sunset or a timezone.
legal advice, or any judgement about whether a particular hunt is lawful for you.
every state. Some have no record in this compilation at all and some are withheld by the verification ledger today; which is which is measured on the index page each time it is loaded, not listed here.
Error direction — If this record is wrong, it is most likely wrong toward saying you MAY do something you may not.
That is the direction that ends in a citation, or in a hunter on ground the state has closed. Read the signals below before you use any row on this page.
Derived by rule from this record's own declared gaps, its own integrity fields and its own rows. It is not a score and there is no confidence number: the counts below count signals, nothing more.

what this rule cannot see
It reads this record's OWN prose. A restriction nobody declared is invisible to it — and an undeclared restriction is what takes a state offline.
It takes each gap's carries_regulation flag at face value. A gap mis-declared as non-regulatory is a silent miss.
It cannot weigh. One missing county list and fourteen missing pages of special-permit hunts each score once. There is no severity here, and that is why no score is shown.
It classifies a whole gap, never a row. A gap that qualifies four rows and a gap that qualifies all of them read identically.
Across the published records the record-level answer is almost always over. That is a statement about how regulation is written — what is missing from a compilation is usually a restriction — not a ranking of states.
Record integrity
Current through — the document this record was read from, and nothing later than it:
The document is those bytes. A URL is a name; if the publisher replaces the file behind it, this hash stops matching and the mismatch is the finding.
We fetched it on 2026-08-08. That is our retrieval date, not a publication date. This record carries no date on which its publisher issued, adopted, amended or last revised that document, so this page states none. Any effective, issue or adoption date the document states of itself is inside the citation above, in the publisher’s own words — nothing here lifts it out or restates it as a fact of ours.
The publisher is named inside that citation, in the publisher’s own words. This record carries no publisher field of its own, so nothing here names one separately.
The record states its own regulation year as 2026. That is the record’s field, not a currency claim: a record may state a year older than the day we fetched it, and where it does, it says so here.
Do not take our word for it. The document every row on this page was read out of is one tap away, and checking us against it is exactly what the citation, the sha256 and the source lines under each row are for.
If that document says something this page does not, the document is the regulation and this page is wrong. The copy we read is the one whose sha256 is above; if the publisher has replaced the file since 2026-08-08, yours will not match ours, and that difference is the thing worth knowing.
What this record does not carry
derived Pennsylvania declares 2 gaps, of which 2 are regulation this compilation does not carry.
2 gap(s) the record says carry regulation
These are regulation that exists and is not in here. They are printed in full, in the record's own words.
