Bluegrass is open this weekend

[psvec]

Yea I want to get out there. Do you know if once Bluegrass opens up for fishing on Feb. 1st hunting is disallowed there? Rabbit season doesn't close until Feb. 14th, but I know the water opens back up on the 1st. Didn't know if there was a special date for rabbit season to close on the bluegrass site. Doesn't seem real safe to me to have hunting going on with anglers possibly being close by.

Sorry dont know, maybe Greg might know(moving on),

Good question. I'm not sure about the answer. I'll do some research and get back to you all.

I interrupt the wording below to mean that you can't hunt rabbits on Bluegrass after Jan 31st 2012 until next year. The regular rabbit hunting season is for areas that are not IDNR Fish and Wildlife Properties in the list below. So if you want to hunt rabbits around Bluegrass you would have to hunt on private ground around the lake and not on the Bluegrass Property. If Newmaster wants to hunt rabbits on his land surrounding the North section of Bluegrass Pit or he gives permission to a friend to hunt there then they could hunt rabbits up until Feb 15, 2012. But if they were to hunt on the Actual Bluegrass Property they could not hunt rabbits after Jan 31st. Does that make sense?


I found this statement below on the IDNR web site.
