The following announcement has been posted by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources
Agency and can be found at this link: https://news.tn.gov/node/10960
***************
The TWRA is also soliciting input on a possible sandhill crane hunting season.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has recommended a potential 60-day sandhill
crane season, with 775 permits available (3 birds per permit). The sandhill
crane zone would be restricted to the southeastern portion of the state (south
of I-40, East of Hwy 56) where the majority of the birds migrate. To provide
comments on the sandhill crane season, send emails to TWRA.Comment@xxxxxx with
the subject line “Sandhill Crane.” The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will also
have a 10-day public comment period once the recommendation is published to the
Federal Register in late July.
Both the Waterfowl opening day survey and the TWRA sandhill crane comment
period will be open until August 10, 2013. For those individuals without
internet services, comments on both issues can be mailed to the Tennessee
Wildlife Resources Agency, Att: Waterfowl Regulations, P.O. Box 40747,
Nashville, TN, 37204. Sportsmen casting a vote on the opening day of waterfowl
seasons must supply a valid TWRA ID number.
****************
In addition to sending your comments to the above email address, it is also
suggested that you send a copy to Chairman Jeff McMillin
(jeff.mcmillin@xxxxxx), Director Ed Carter (ed.carter@xxxxxx) and your area
TFWC Commissioner. The contact information for all commissioners is found
here: http://www.tn.gov/twra/comnames.html
You will also find the video of the most recent commission meeting on this page.
