The Outdoor Recreation Program will offer a doe hunt open to all Hunt permit holders and guests on Saturday, January 16, 2010.
This is part of a fetus study we are conducting and in effort to involve hunter participation we have acquired roughly 20 doe tags to fill.
We appreciate your involvement in this effort and look forward to a successful hunt.
The harvest numbers will be closely monitored and evaluated.
We anticipate the Doe hunt to be Saturday only. However, should we require an additional day we will extend to Sunday, check the kiosk for extension of harvest days.
As always state and APAFR hunting regulations apply.
The hunt will be STILL hunt only and coincide with small game hunting in all open management areas.
No off-road vehicle travel will be permitted for the purpose of this doe hunt.
