From Staff Reports

The Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division wants to know what you think about hunting regulations.

The division is holding a public meeting on Thursday at Dalton State College to receive comments on the development of hunting regulations for the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 hunting seasons.

The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. in the Goodroe Auditorium of Memorial Hall. You are required to register upon arrival and say whether you plan to give a statement. Officials say statements must be concise to allow everyone a chance to speak.

Written statements must be received by Jan. 16. They should be mailed to Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division, Game Management Section, Attn: John Bowers, 2070 U.S. Highway 278 S.E., Social Circle, GA 30025.

Proposed changes to hunting regulations will be considered by the Board of Natural Resources in May 2009.
