    GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) staff developed a proposal to address deer-dog trespass from the Osceola Wildlife Management Area (WMA) onto adjacent private land and to increase the area on which deer-dog hunting is allowed on the Osceola Wildlife Management Area (WMA). The proposal will be mailed to all hunters who listed the Osceola WMA as one of their four choices on the quota hunt application, and their comments requested.
