(b) A person that has a permit to take great horned owls issued under United States Code, title 16, section 704, may trap great horned owls from April 1 to October 15 if the person has a game farm license or is the owner or operator of a poultry farm.

Uninjured birds shall be released alive and injured birds shall receive appropriate veterinary treatment.
