DNR to Host Public Meeting April 27 on Proposed Wildlife Rules
DES MOINES - The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is hosting a public meeting to discuss a number of new proposed regulations including changes to waterfowl seasons, and the antlerless deer season quotas. The meeting will be conducted over the Iowa Communications Network (ICN) on April 27, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
"This is an opportunity for our hunters and people who support wildlife to give us some feedback on these regulations," said Dale Garner, chief of the DNR's wildlife bureau. "We will go over the proposed regulations and seasons and our rational behind each change, and take comments from anyone willing to speak, then, if there is any time remaining, we will open the discussion to other topics."
The proposed changes include reducing the antlerless deer license quota in 27 counties, increasing the antler deer license quota in three counties, expanding the bobcat season zone in western Iowa and increasing the harvest quota. Other topics include proposed waterfowl season and the proposed deer hunting seasons.
Any interested person may make written suggestions or comments on the proposed changes on or before April 27, 2010. Written comments may be sent to the Wildlife Bureau Chief, Department of Natural Resources, Wallace State Office Building, Des Moines, Iowa 50319-0034; or faxed to (515) 281-6794.
Any persons who intend to attend the public hearing and have special needs, such as those related to hearing or mobility impairments, should contact the Department of Natural Resources and advise of specific needs.
The DNR will have staff members from the wildlife bureau at each site to answer questions, and to take any written comments.
