DES MOINES - The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is hosting a public meeting to discuss a number of new proposed regulations covering deer hunting, fall wild turkey hunting, and waterfowl seasons. The meeting will be conducted over the Iowa Communications Network (ICN) on April 19, from 7 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 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 increasing the number of antlerless deer only permits, establishes the fall 2005, spring 2006 hunting seasons and bag limits, proposes a statewide two day September Canada goose season, and increases the spring and fall opportunities for turkey hunters.
The DNR will have staff members from the wildlife bureau at each site to help with the meeting.
