Soothing Shrimp Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Each buyer has to make their own decision when buying crayfish, however this may help know the laws in your state. http://faculty.utpa.edu/zfaulkes/marmorkrebs/crayfish_laws.html The above is from 2009. If anyone has an updated list, please post it. Thanks. rodbigelow, jumpsmasher and h4n 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OblongShrimp Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 I know Arizona is illegal to possess them unless you had them before the laws changed (sometime late 90's I think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
