Notice: 14244079

Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION

Division:

Freshwater Fish and Wildlife

Chapter:

GENERAL HUNTING REGULATIONS

Overview

RULE:

68A-13.001

Open Season for Taking Game; Bag and Possession Limits

PURPOSE:

The purpose of the proposed new rule is, in conjunction with a rule amendment being proposed at the same time, to relocate zonal hunting boundary descriptions from 68A-13.004 to a new definitions section (68A-13.0001) and include new language establishing deer management units (DMUs) for Zone D. The effect of the proposed rule will be to enable the agency to better manage white-tailed deer based on recent biological and public preference information.

SUMMARY:

The proposed new rule would create a definitions section for Chapter 68A-13 that contains the hunt zone boundaries for zones A-D, defines deer management units (DMUs) for the purpose of managing white-tailed deer at a smaller geographic scale than is currently possible using larger zones, and establishes DMU D1 as that portion of Zone D located south of Interstate 10 and DMU D2 as that portion of Zone D located north of Interstate 10.
