2014 Summer Waterfowl Meetings/Hearings and Public Input Opportunities
As we do each year during this time, we request that those with a stake in waterfowl hunting provide input on the upcoming seasons during our public meetings and hearings. It’s important we hear from folks whether they want to reaffirm support for past season dates or are looking for something different. Even if you are not concerned with specific regulations, this represents a great opportunity to hear the latest on waterfowl management and population status. We’ll take the public input to the Natural Resources Board along with a season structure proposal for approval in mid-August.
*If you are unable to attend a meeting or hearing, you can also send in your comments to Taylor Finger, assistant migratory game bird ecologist (see below for contact info), before midnight on Thursday, August 7th.
