Woody - do you have a link to the notice for this meeting??? I'm not seeing it listed on the official calendar on either the NRC or the IDNR site...? It may well be there, but I'm not finding it...
Thanks!

Woody - ok... thanks!
I was wanting to check to see if they had amended the rule draft from what IDNR originally gave them last summer and thought they might have more details regarding the language for this upcoming meeting. Guess I'll e-mail Jennifer for confirmation that the original PDF is still what they're looking at... weird that it's not on either agency's calendar - sounds like you got notice as a response to your comment e-mail...
Appreciate the heads up about the meeting, in any event...

If you get anything back from Jennifer that is contrary, please post it. Thanks.. . . |

JKD and all,
I just got this...DNR rule change public hearing------------------------------- The Indiana Department of Natural Resources will hold a public hearing to receive comments on several proposed administrative rule changes. Proposed rule changes include allowing rifles loaded with pistol cartridges during the deer firearms season, exempting hunters younger than 16 years old from 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 hearing will be held Tuesday, Feb. 13 at 6 p.m. (EST) at the Garrison Conference Center at Ft. Harrison State Park in Indianapolis. The proposed deer firearm season rule change language reads: - The rifle cartridge must: (A) have a bullet of three hundred fifty-seven thousandths of an inch (.357) diameter or larger; (B) have a minimum case length of one and sixteen hundredths (1.16) inches; and (C) have a maximum case length of one and six hundred twenty-five thousandths (1.625) inches. This proposed deer hunting rule change language would continue the DNR's long-time position of allowing only short-to-medium range equipment for taking deer. The DNR has often received requests from the public for a rule change allowing some rifles during deer firearm season. The Natural Resources Commission preliminarily adopted these rule changes, along with several others, in July 2006. The preliminarily adopted rules are available online at: www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/about/Click on "2006 Additional Wildlife Administrative Rule Changes". Public comments can be submitted by e-mail, written letter, or at the public hearing. Written comments can be sent to: Hearing Officer Natural Resources Commission 402 W. Washington Street, W272 Indianapolis, IN 46204 Comments can also be e-mailed to: jkane@nrc.in.gov Written comments must be received no later than February 15. A copy of the public hearing report will be available at www.IN.gov/nrc prior to final consideration by the Natural Resources Commission. The NRC will likely consider these rule changes for final adoption in March. If approved by the NRC, attorney general and governor, the changes will become effective this summer. The Garrison Conference Center is in Ft. Harrison State Park on the east side of Indianapolis, near the intersection of Post Road and 59th St. Find a map at: www.in.gov/dnr/parklake/inns/images/maps/garrison_lm.gifIndividuals who need reasonable modifications for effective participation in public meetings should call the DNR ADA coordinator at (317) 232-4200 (voice and TDD).

So, that's it right? It'll be either yea or nay on that proposal? YEP... That is the way I see it.. Key sentences... "This proposed deer hunting rule change language would continue the DNR's long-time position of allowing only short-to-medium range equipment for taking deer. The DNR has often received requests from the public for a rule change allowing some rifles during deer firearm season."I guess the anti campaign to make it all centerfires to get it shot down hit a brick wall.  . |

Dang the bad luck. Looks like by that wording the other proposal was dead on arrival because of the tradition. Good luck on the change, it should be a good one.

Post road. Is that on the north east off of 465? I can find a few places in Indy but am not really familier with it. Think I may have to invest in a street pilot one of these days.
