Rule 68A-4.001 (3): It is prohibited to place food or garbage out to intentionally attract bears.

68A-12.004 (12): The sale or purchase of any bear carcass or part thereof is prohibited (including taxidermy mounts) unless legally acquired and has a tag bearing the name and address of the possessor and the date when and the specific place where it was taken and acquired.

68A-27.004: No person shall take, possess, transport, molest, harass, or sell any threatened species unless under special permit (mostly scientific purposes).
