Proposed regulations are available on the Game and Fish website. Recorded presentations of regional season proposals will be available online beginning March 24. The public will then have an opportunity to join regional question and answer sessions with wildlife biologists and game wardens to discuss the proposals. Anyone planning to attend a regional question and answer session should review the proposals prior to attending. Registration for these sessions is open now. Each meeting has a unique link. Separate enrollment is required if attending multiple meetings. 

Comments made at these sessions will not be recorded or presented to the Commission.
