Season-Setting Meetings
During December and early January, FWP will hold meetings around the state to discuss the draft hunting regulations with interested members of the public. Biologists will present information on the draft hunting regulations approved by the commission. Following the presentations, there will be time for questions and answers.
Background
Earlier this fall, Fish, Wildlife & Parks biologists offered science-based regulations proposals that combine some hunting districts, reduce some license and permit types, and eliminate hunting district portions. FWP staff held informational meetings around the state, and the public was invited to submit comments on those initial proposals. FWP adjusted the proposals based on public comment and presented them to the commission.
