CHIEF LOGAN STATE PARK — The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (DNR) will host a public meeting from 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, March 19, at Chief Logan State Park Conference Center to discuss 2013 hunting regulations.

The DNR will hold 12 public meetings across the state to provide hunters, trappers, anglers, landowners and other interested parties an opportunity to review and comment on proposed 2013 hunting regulations for white-tailed deer, wild turkey, black bear and boar, proposed 2014-2015 general hunting and trapping regulations, proposed amphibian and reptile regulations, and proposed 2014 fishing regulations. These meetings will be held from 6-8 p.m. March 18 and March 19, and the public is encouraged to attend.

“The public meetings have been designed to use an ‘Open House’ format,’” said DNR Director Frank Jezioro. “This informal meeting style allows people to attend at their convenience during the scheduled meeting times, learn of proposed regulation changes, discuss these proposals with Wildlife Resources biologists and Natural Resource Police Officers and comment on the proposed regulations and other wildlife-related issues.”

As in the past, written comments from the public on these proposed hunting, trapping and fishing regulations will also be encouraged. Deadline for written comments is April 5, 2013.
