Meetings on Schedule to Discuss Proposed Hunting Regulations

Public meetings on Montana’s proposed hunting seasons and regulations for 2012-2013 are set for two eastern Montana communities in January.

Attendees will have the opportunity to hear and comment on the proposed regulations, approved for public review by the Montana, Fish, Wildlife & Parks Commission earlier this month.

Both meetings begin at 7 p.m. One meeting will be in Miles City, Tuesday, Jan 10 at Miles City Community College, Room 106 and one in Glendive, Wednesday, Jan. 11 at the Dawson Community College, Ullman Center Room 102.

The commission will take into consideration public comments gathered from the meetings, letters, email and online as it prepares to finalize hunting regulations at its Feb. 16 meeting in Helena.

To view the season proposals and to comment online, go to the FWP website, fwp.mt.gov and select “2012-2013 Hunting Proposals”. Comments are due by 5 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 23.
