The Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is considering rule proposals for Escambia River Wildlife Management Area and Perdido River Water Management Area. The purpose of this public meeting is to present information and receive public comments regarding a proposed rule change for Escambia River that would extend the general gun hunting season from 26 days to 58 days. The area now has a 58-day season with the final 32 days limited to primitive weapons. The proposal would change the existing 32-day primitive weapons season to a general gun format and increases the number of days deer dog hunting is allowed on the dog hunt portion of the area. The meeting also will feature the proposed hunting format for the new Perdido River Water Management Area owned by the Northwest Florida Water Management District. Any proposed rule changes will be considered in concept along with public comments at the December 6-7, 2006 Commission meeting to be held in Key Largo; rule proposals will not be considered for adoption until the February 7-8 Commission meeting scheduled for Destin.
