Keeping Peelers??

**Mark100673** · 08-26-2009, 10:46 AM

Just curious. I have seen the posts mentioning sloughing tanks and techniques...... Is it legal for Recs to keep peelers?? The State Regulations Web site references keeping softcrabs, but does not appear to address peelers from what I can find.

Thanks, Mark

Mark in short, NO
DNR outlawed it for recs last year.

Not if they are female.

Anglers can have as many female peelers as they wish. But they must buy them, not catch them.

Although it would be unethical and no one should, how the heck would the NRP know wether you caught them or bought them?
