Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION

Division:

Freshwater Fish and Wildlife

Chapter:

GENERAL HUNTING REGULATIONS

Overview

RULE:

68A-13.004

Hunting Regulations for Non-Migratory Game and Issuance of Antlerless Deer Permits and Private Lands Deer Management Permits

PURPOSE:

The purpose of the proposed rule amendment is to revise regulations pertaining to the season length for wild turkey during the spring season in Holmes County. The effect of the proposed rule amendment will be to enable the agency to better manage fish and wildlife resources.

SUMMARY:

Due to the continued success of the turkey population in Holmes County following restoration activities in the early 2000’s, the proposed rule amendment would re-establish statewide regulations for the spring season in Holmes County.  Specifically, the proposed amendment would extend the regular spring season to a full 37-day season.  The resulting spring season length would be consistent with those for the rest of the counties in the state.  Fall turkey season would continue to be closed in Holmes County.

Additionally, the proposed rule amendment would provide non-substantive technical changes, such as grammatical corrections, language standardization, or clarification of an existing rule.
