Tonight's Public Hearing on Rifle Proposal CANCELLED

-------------------------------------------------------------

The public hearing scheduled for this evening at 6 pm at the Garrison Conference Center at Ft. Harrison State Park has been cancelled due to the snowstorm. The public hearing was scheduled to receive comments on several proposed administrative rule changes, including allowing rifles with pistol cartridges during the deer firearms season, exempting hunters younger than 16 years old from the Harvest Information Program (HIP) registration before hunting migratory birds during the youth free hunting season, and adding the cerulean warbler to the state's endangered species list.

The Natural Resources Commission preliminarily adopted these rule changes last July.

Comments on these proposals can still be sent to: [email protected]. The rule language can be found on the DNR's website at: http://www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/about/ <http://www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/about/>

The public hearing will be re-scheduled for sometime in late March and an announcement will be made via Wild Bulletin.
