Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION

Division:

Freshwater Fish and Wildlife

Chapter:

TYPE I WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREAS

Overview

RULE:

68A-15.065

Specific Regulations for Wildlife Management Areas - Northeast Region

PURPOSE:

The purpose of the proposed rule changes is to revise specific area regulations on Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) in the Northeast Region and conform to calendar year date changes.  The effect of the proposed rule changes is to enable the agency to better manage fish and wildlife resources and public use on WMAs.

SUMMARY:

The proposed rule changes would adjust season dates to conform to calendar year changes and revise specific area regulations on Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) in the Northeast Region as follows:
Tosohatchee; Seminole Ranch WMAs – The proposed rule would switch the second 7-day general gun hog hunt on Tosohatchee WMA (last week of January) with the 7-day general gun hog hunt on Seminole Ranch WMA (second week of February), with no change in the number of days open to hunting. These areas are geographically adjacent. The effect of this change would allow additional recreational opportunities on Tosohatchee WMA between hunts.
Matanzas WMA – The proposed rule would establish a 9-day general gun hog season with a quota of 50.
