TWRA REQUESTS PUBLIC INPUT FOR 2017-18 WATERFOWL AND OTHER MIGRATORY BIRD
HUNTING SEASONS
The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency is soliciting comments for its
2017-18 waterfowl and other migratory bird hunting regulations, including
sandhill cranes. This is an opportunity for the public to provide ideas and
share concerns about hunting regulations with TWRA staff. The comment period
is open Oct. 15-Nov. 15, 2016.
Due to recent changes in the timing of the federal regulation process,
waterfowl and other migratory game bird hunting seasons are now proposed to
the Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commission at its January meeting and voted
upon at its February meeting.
Public comments will be considered by TWRA¹s Wildlife Division staff and may
be presented as proposals for regulation changes. Comments may be submitted
by mail to: 2017-18 Hunting Season Comments, TWRA, Wildlife and Forestry
Division, P.O. Box 40747, Nashville, TN 37204 or emailed to
twra.comment@xxxxxx. Please include ³Waterfowl Season Comments² on the
subject line of emailed submissions.
Thanks to everyone for submitting comments.
