Summary


The proposed revisions clarify that the extent to which hunting is allowed on District lands that are not within a designated Type 1 Wildlife Management Area will be determined by the conservation management goals and objectives contained within the specific management plan for the property. The revisions will also provide greater flexibility in the issuance of hunting permits for authorized hunts on District lands not within a Type 1 Wildlife Management Area. Currently the rule only allows for issuance per a lottery system. The proposed language will broaden the District’s options to allow issuance via lottery or on a first come/first serve basis.
