NRC seeks input on proposed deer hunting rule changes

May 11—Indiana's Natural Resources Commission (NRC) has opened a second public comment period for proposed changes to Indiana's deer hunting rules before it votes on final adoption of the proposed changes. Most proposed changes intend to simplify Indiana's deer hunting rules to make them easier to understand.

Public comments can be submitted online at IN.gov/nrc/rules/rulemaking-docket via the "Submit Comments Here" link in the Rulemaking Docket for the Deer Hunting Amendments. Comments can also be mailed to: Natural Resources Commission, Indiana Government Center North, 100 North Senate Ave., Room N103, Indianapolis, IN 46204

The deadline for submitting public comments is May 20. A public hearing will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. ET May 20 at Atterbury Fish & Wildlife Area, 7970 S. Rowe St., Edinburgh, IN 46124. You can attend in person or online during the time frame. There will also be an in-person-only open house immediately before the hearing, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. ET at the same location. To attend the public hearing online, starting at 5:30 p.m. May 20, go to Microsoft Teams and enter Meeting ID 213 479 076 835 and Passcode Ack2vu.
