Considering they're not endangered, there's very little chance you'd get in trouble. It all depends on what state you're in, but for the most part, there's little issue. For example, here in Oklahoma, it's legal to shoot them if they're a nuisance. You're just required to haul them in to the wildlife department. Luckily, they're "rare" here. By rare, I mean that there hasn't been enough confirmed sightings..Even though plenty of people have seen them and a couple have been hit by vehicles.
