I’ve been informed by the IDNR that all of these proposals that I have posted are in a DRAFT ONLY version and are subject to change before the final proposal is presented to the Natural Resources Commission in May.
The IDNR is working together on finalizing a proposal and we will be informed as soon as they have done that. That will probably be mid-April.
I will repost that FINAL proposal at that time for more discussion.
In the meantime we can discuss these DRAFT proposals, but just be aware that our discussion might be moot on some proposals as they might not make the final cut.
Interesting discussion, none the less…
Carry on….
The IDNR is proposing that the rabbit season be extended until February 15 and is making some changes in the Sate Fish and Wildlife areas.
Items in BOLD are new. Items struck through are being removed.
