The Commission would like to add the following text to the summary in the Notice of Proposed Rule: “Hunting equipment on WMAs – define the term “hunting equipment” for the purposes of this rule as “tree stands and elevated shooting platforms” when referencing what items can and cannot be left on WMAs; and use the term “hunt” instead of the term “season” when referencing time periods when tree stands and elevated shooting platforms are allowed on WMAs.
