For those of you that had the luck of the draw in AZ to see it go up in flames, Arizona Game and Fish Department is thinking about you. Good luck,
Commission to discuss options for responding to situations of hunters drawn in wildfire-affected units
June 24, 2011
The Arizona Game and Fish Commission has added an agenda item to its meeting tomorrow (Saturday, June 25) to discuss the options available to the commission and department for responding to the situations of hunters who are drawn for hunts in game management units affected by this year’s wildfires.
The commission will receive presentations from staff and discuss the range of options available for assessing the impact of wildfires on hunting opportunity in those units, for dealing with the impacts on hunters drawn for those units, and the resource implications of those actions. The commission may vote to take action or provide direction to the department regarding this matter.
The agenda item was added per commission direction at this morning's meeting. The item will be discussed beginning at 2 p.m. (time certain) tomorrow, June 25.
The meeting will be held at the Arizona Game and Fish Department headquarters at 5000 W. Carefree Highway in Phoenix. People can either attend the meeting in Phoenix in person or view it over the web at www.azgfd.gov/commissioncam. Those wishing to submit “blue slips” to present oral comment must do so either in person at the Phoenix meeting or at any of the six Game and Fish regional offices that will stream the webcast.
For a complete agenda of other items to be discussed at tomorrow's meeting (which begins at 9 a.m.), visit www.azgfd.gov/commission.
