Summary


The proposed rule amendment would adjust regulations as follows: Holmes County turkey bag limits – establish turkey bag limits for Holmes County consistent with statewide rules: daily bag, 2; spring season bag, 2; all fall seasons combined bag, 2; possession limit, 2. Holmes County fall turkey seasons – establish that turkey may be taken during archery, crossbow, muzzleloading gun, and fall turkey seasons consistent with Zone D statewide regulations. Antlerless deer permit program – allow antlerless deer permits to be issued to properties (not less than 150 contiguous acres) if they adjoin land with a current Private Lands Deer Management Permit. Quail season end date – establish that the statewide quail season ends the first Sunday in March consistent with gray squirrel season. This minor change would prevent quail season from occasionally ending on leap day (February 29) one week earlier than gray squirrel season.
