The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has rescheduled its Algona and Sac City meetings on recently completed hunting seasons and possible changes to hunting rules and regulations that were postponed because the winter storm.
The Algona meeting will be on March 5, at 7 p.m., at Waters Edge Nature Center, 1010 250th Street, near Algona.
The Sac City meeting will be on March 7, at 7 p.m., at the Sac County Conservation Center at Hagge Park, 2970 280th Street, near Sac City.
“We want people to come out, listen to the hunting seasons reviews, ask questions and hear directly from our staff,” said Todd Bishop, chief of the Iowa DNR’s Wildlife Bureau. “Part of the meeting will be devoted to discussing potential rule changes and collecting feedback as we work through the rules process.”
The meetings are open to the public. Comments collected from these public meetings will be considered along with other related comments received by the Iowa DNR prior to proposing changes to hunting rules and regulations. Proposed rules will be presented to the Natural Resource Commission during a regular public meeting for consideration and additional public comment.
These meetings replace the one night listening session held in late winter over the past 15 years.
